the stockings were hung by the staircase with care...



The grand staircase seemed like the perfect spot for our numerous Christmas stockings.  Many people have asked where I got them.  The answer: Sundance Catalog under the name BH Crafts.  The fun part is that they are 100% wool and are hand knit in Bosnia by underprivileged women that have been taught the skill to support themselves.  I got to add to the "collection" this year with our new son in law and it was fun to see that they have added new patterns.




With a large blended family of 10 children and 4 spouses (so far) our stocking count is already up to sixteen.  And in a 12 month period we added 5 grandchildren - yes, 5!  Bella, our first, was born in 2010 - and we added Harper, Eleanor, Charlotte, Thea & Avery from October 2011 to September 2012.  I made an executive decision about the "stocking situation"... the grandchildren will have MITTENS!
