Christmas Jammies

Ever since Crista was itty bitty

we've had this great Christmas tradition.

On the Friday after Thanksgiving

we put up our tree,

the girls get their first Christmas gifts

(its always a new ornament and their Christmas pj's)

and then we camp out around the tree.

This year,

nothing happened the way we wanted.

This year,

we were still in the process of moving

and the tree was the LAST thing on my mind.

I hadn't even bought the girls their ornaments yet

and

Crista was sick.

So nothing went as planned this year.

I felt like such a slacker Mom.

 

Our church does a yearly

Breakfast with Santa

that the girls look forward to.

The kids come in their PJ's and

there are activities, pancakes, and of course,

Santa!

Addie was able to go with some friends

while I stayed home with

poor little Crista.

So, I had to give the girls their Christmas jammies,

unwrapped,

without the Christmas tree being up

so Addie could have them for her date with Santa.

 

 

Addie Grace was excited to head to the church

to see Santa!

 

Crista was less than thrilled that she had to miss.

You can tell in this pic she wasn't feeling her best.

But she had to rest up

because Grandma had planned a very special surprise

for the girls,

later in the day,

and she did NOT want to miss it!

Stay tuned to find out what it was :-)
