hahaha! i have no children just yet, but had this very same discussion with my husband…in the middle of the christmas section at target just a few weeks ago. we wanted to get 3 (our spoiled dog needs one too!) of the target stockings you have above, but wait, what if we have a kid by next christmas?! double wait, what if it's actually twins?! triplets?! what if i just can't stop having babies because they're too cute! things must match in our household and i didn't want to be the weird person buying 8 or more stockings :) plus, that'd be close to $100. we decided to just get cheap, yet classic, red and white dollar tree stockings for now. it's really a stressful topic in our house. we aviod it all costs ;)

I wouldn't set anything in stone yet- It took Rich and I 5 years to finally nail down our family stockings, and I know Mackenzie is getting hers down now too… so jsut wait a few years… do something inexpensive now (like $10 from Target)and think on it for a few more years.

You should make your own stockings! I'm going to try making them; then you can just make more stockings as the kids come. There's lots of patterns for making them online, and it's cheap too!

My kids won't be wearing Dora Shoes or Elmo sweatshirts, either. NOT a fan. As far as the stocking dilemma–you also have to consider if everyone has a different color (like I want boy and girl colors, plus mom and dad have their own color. So, likely, we'll have only 2 colors hanging). My best advice is pick "something" cute, but not too pricey (think day after Christmas sale), until you're done having kids. Then, find something you like and get them for everyone.
