Stockings

Last night as a family we decorated our stockings. This is a Youngblood Family tradition. Since Dusty and I married, we have spent every Christmas buying a plain stocking and then decorating it with glitter/paint pens. Then the boys came along and we have continued our Christmas tradition and the boys look forward to it every year. We start off having hot cocoa, decorate the stockings and then finish by eating some yummy cookies. It is nice to look back at our past stockings and see how we have decorated them, especially the boys stockings. I can see how they have matured in their drawings and handwriting skills. I hope this is a tradition they can pass on to their own family one day.

We usually sit outside and drink hot cocoa, but since it was so cold we opted to sit in the garage. Such fun memories!

With no fire place mantle, we were creative and hung our stockings with ribbon.

The boys favorite, chocolate chip cookies

Happy Holidays Everyone!
