Jaye asked for more words - i'm sorry i've been lax at the words part - life being busy and all that.
Advent stockings are like advent calendars. except there is a little giftie every day. We do these with my sister and cousin and Nana and Oma help too. We each buy or make little presents for each of the 6 kids - it's complicated new math - but it works out. last year we decided to try and do more heartfelt and non-monetary gifts. i did a bit better with that last year than this - but i found some neat pens and pencils and things like rubber cement and mini staplers :) all good things for the crowd we buy/make for.
when i was little, my mom and a few of her dear friends did this for us. they are fun and the kids enjoy it. today rhys got some butteflies to paint and irene got a cardinal to make. they were both delighted.
later in the day, we were in a christmas parade. did i take a picture of the props? no - argle. oh well.

Love the photos, but I NEED some text. What are Advent stockings?
So Jaye asks for more words and POOF - more words! Gee, if I'd known it was that easy, I woulda asked months ago! I miss your words too.
And your doll background is out of season girl!
I feel so special! Thanks for more words. I know you are busy and I really appreciate it. xxoo
BTW, I think the Advent stockings are a nice idea. Do all the gifts go in at the beginning of the month or as the days go by?
