Prologue: My mom, has for years, hand stitched Bucella stockings for her entire family. By 'entire family' I mean, her immediate children, their spouses, and their children (her grandchildren). An individual stocking takes mulitple months to complete- I, therefore, assumed Charlie's stocking would have to wait until next Christmas. After all, the rate at which I produce children, it's impossible to keep up! Although I created a space at the mantel for what 'could be,' my mom truely surprised me with what is considered to be the most anticipate Christmas gift of all-time!
A candid shot of my surprise!
A proud mommy...
The masterpiece!

From left to right: my stocking from 1977 (rudolph), Ben's stocking of Santa watching football- complete with a bowl of potato chips (my personal favorite stocking), Charlie's sport themed Santa, Harrison's stocking of Santa riding a bucking reindeer, and Reese's stocking of Santa at the "North Pole" with a reindeer.
My mom has completed 15 stockings and 2 more are in the works for my brother's wife and their 8 month old son.
Thanks MOM! I love you!

Would you ask your mom if I'm considered "immediate family?"
I've always been in awe of those fabulous stockings the talent it takes to create them.
You were probably just as surprised by Charlie's stocking being finished as I was by the quilt you gave me for Christmas last year.
Love, love love Charlie's stocking! Lucien can't wait to see his next year. Isn't Cassi awesome???!!! Hope you guys are having a great new year.
