I dreamt of this day… many, many times… adding a new stocking to our “faux” fireplace mantle.

Last year at this time, I was 10 weeks pregnant… I didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl… and all I could think about was that next year we’d have a little baby in our family. It gave me good goosebumps, I couldn’t wait!

This morning my VICTORIA’S stocking arrived from Pottery Barn Kids! I ordered it on Cyber Monday and got her name monogrammed right on it!

Here we were opening it up this morning!

As soon as the boys left for school, I hung her stocking right in the middle – I thought it would be nice to have her protected by 2 big brothers on each side!

This photo warms my heart!

OK… Santa, all the stockings are hung and now we’re ready for you in 15 days!
