Christmas Pajamas!!!

I started a new tradition this year. I LOVE traditions, and Christmas is my favorite time to do them.

On Thursday night (Thanksgiving), before the girls went to bed, I told them I had a special surprise for them in the morning. On Friday morning, they were SO excited for their surprise. So, I had wrapped up matching Christmas pajamas (pictured above) for each of them, and inside the gift bags, I wrote out a card for them that said we were going to put on our Christmas pajamas, get out the Christmas movies, pop some popcorn, and have a Family Movie Night!!! They LOVED it! They were so excited all day. They had the movie picked out and everything.

I have a special basket filled with just Christmas movies, so they got to pick from that. They chose the BOZ Christmas movie by the way...very good movie for kids!!!!!
(Click HERE to link to the Christmas DVD, or click HERE to view the BOZ website--coloing pages, games etc--this is a great site, and the products are FABULOUS!!--one of our all-time faves!!!)
I love this tradition--we had such a great time as a family, and it made the whole day exciting!

I will continue to share more of our Christmas traditions throughout December....

"That's what the Christian faith is all about. The world looks at us and sees a lack of perfection & therefore a bunch of hypocrites. The believer looks in the mirror and sees a filthy rag who desperately needs a Savior day after day."
