Heartwarming

We have three beautiful stockings hanging on our mantle.  Nonna stitched each one with care and they are amazing.  She hasn't quite gotten around to making one for Will yet - in fact after nine and a half years of marriage Brian just got his last week.   

Tonight Max brought me the stocking he made in preschool last year.  He also had a marker.  He proceeded to write Will's name on the other side of his preschool stocking so that Will could have one hanging up too.  There are now four stockings hanging on the mantle, and the meaning behind the fourth one makes it just as beautiful as the others.  My big boy has an even bigger heart.  How did I get so lucky?

Totally a side note here - but aren't those stocking holders gorgeous? Thanks Aunt Carm!
