Stockings for Santa

We decided for Family Home Evening that we were going to make stockings for Santa. (Mostly because our stockings are packed away in storage) We read some stories about 3 generations of family and their Christmas away from home and what they did to make it special. Then we read about where the traditions of hanging stockings came from. Then we went into the dining room and made and decorated our stockings.

 We cut out a stocking shape out of paper bags and then punched holes in the side and used ribbon to tie them together.




 Statton did a cute job. He drew a sledding hill and then arranged his snowmen so they were sliding down the hill.
 Madison was all about order.
 Cassidy as usual was the last one done. She made sure to utilize every inch of paper.
Statton was cute to put his arm around everyone and pull them in for a group shot of the finished stockings. Turned out pretty cute and Madison kept saying "this is the best Christmas ever!"
