This is "Crewsie," as Savannah lovingly call him, before eating lots and lots of wrapping paper and tissue paper. It was his favorite part of Christmas.
Grandmother Cotton lovingly makes everyone a Christmas stocking when they are born. If you marry into the Cotton family, your name goes onto your spouse's stocking. So my name has been up there for seven years now. Chase's will hit the 30 year mark this Christmas. So far it looks like there are 28 to 30 stockings over the fireplace. Wow!! We always have fun each year when we check out what they are filled with. Grandmother also draws names for each of us to give $5 "stocking stuffers." It's fun to try to find something for $5, and this way everyone is involved. Next year, Raine's stocking will have fresh paint on it. :) We are looking forward to adding Lauren to our family in June. God has blessed my family so much in every way. I am so thankful for His Son and His grace and mercy.
