When my oldest was a baby we bought the largest stocking available. It's probably 5 feet tall. So when the other 5 came along we needed to get them a 5 foot stocking. The are arranged coming down the stairs in birth order. We laugh and tease saying "It looks like the walls are bleeding". Those are just for decoration. They each have a small one hanging on the banister on the way down. So we do reuse our stockings each year, both sets:)
