These things generally disappear pretty
quickly, and there are rarely any leftovers.
Evan was making sure he got his!
Stockings are also a Christmas morning tradition. This year I only filled stockings for the grandkids. The adult kids usually get stockings, too, with things like gift cards, gum, pens, dental floss (a favorite!). But this year I left their stockings at home, and they each got a few gift cards. But the kiddos got the usual stocking stuffers.
Hope even got something that was
too big to fit in her stocking.
One of the things that I put in all the kids' stockings was something I'd call "magic socks." I found them at the Learning Shop, and they were these things that you unwrap and submerge in water and.......Surprise!! They turn into a pair of socks!! They came in different bright colors and they each had a different animal on them.
Waiting.....
and watching....
and more people watching!
And would you believe--I never took any pictures of them wearing their awesome magic socks!! They were a big hit, though!
Speaking of socks, over the past few years we have had another sock tradition. In the fall I try to get to the big Wigwam Sock sale in Sheboygan, and I buy a bunch of socks of all types. And then on Christmas morning we sort of have a "sock scramble" and everyone gets to pick out a few pairs of socks. BUT....due to the whole foot surgery thing, I wasn't really up to facing the crowds and all the standing in line that are part of the Wigwam Sock Sale experience. So, no Wigwam socks this year. But hopefully they'll be back next year!!
So that was our Christmas morning. The rest of that day will be covered in the next post---stay tuned!
