One of the great things about having adult children is the people they bring into our lives. After a while the friends and boyfriends and girlfriends start walking in without knocking. The dog knows them and stays on the sofa and wags her tail. (Instead of going ballistic like she would if a stranger came into the house.)
I decided this year that my daughter’s boyfriend and son’s girlfriend needed their own homemade stockings. An official welcome to the family.
Enjoy your holidays, everyone.
That’s a sure sign of arrival in a family – your own Christmas stocking! Have a wonderful time with your family Jodie – Happy Christmas!

Don’t you love this stage of life. I know I did, but it gets better when the girl/boy friends become wives/husbands and produce grandchildren. That is the greatest ever!
