The Elves are Busy Making Ornaments

This year, when we hung the stockings up on the fireplace, Connor asked me if I could put something in it every night while he is sleeping.  I asked him if he thought I was the Stocking Brigade or something, and of course, he did.  And thus the Stocking Brigade became a thing that has been happening here.

The first night, I stuck some Christmas-themed Pez dispensers that I found in the box with the stockings in there with some Pez.

Then, I discovered a stash of little Christmas activities that we never did from years past, and I decided those would be good for the Stocking Brigade to leave for the kids.

Here, we have some little foam ornament kits that I stuck in their stockings:

Connor made his and hung it on the little tree.

Lex hung his on the microphone stand on his desk, next to the little tree.
