Something New, Something Borrowed

Something New:

The boy's Christmas stockings -- Last year Paxton was too young to realize that he didn't have a stocking, but now he wants to have whatever his big brothers have. So I made the boys all matching stockings. I designed each tree to have the same amount of branches to match each year they are old. Now we'll always remember their stocking were made when they were 8, 4, & 2.

We also recently acquired some super cute mushroom ottomans. My boys have always loved Mario Bros., so of course "a mushroom stool is super cool!"

Something Borrowed:

My Aunt Joy gave us the idea for a really fun gift.

A Winter Survival Kit.

We loaded up some empty Nesquik containers (easy for us to come by, since my boys love their chocolate milk) with the following:

-A can of sprite.

-A packet of cup of noodle soup

-A packet of hot chocolate

-Hand Sanitizer

-Hand Lotion

-Kleenex

-A small flashlight

I love the way they turned out.

Thanks for the idea Aunt Joy!
