A Quiet Christmas Weekend

I unintentionally started another new Christmas tradition this year - we can wear our pajamas all day long. I just love quiet Christmas days when there are no deadlines or places we need to be. I love letting Ben and Lizzy spend the whole day figuring out their toys and rearranging the toy room to fit the new treasures.

We did have Troy's grandparents and our dear friends Julie and Alan Luke over for a late afternoon yummy meal but other than that, we just existed and it was wonderful! That was MY favorite Christmas gift...a stressless day.

Lizzy showing off one of her 3 new pair of pajamas she received for Christmas. That wasn't planned but very appreciated as she has actually grown out of all of her pajamas. These ones are soft pink ones with cute green frogs. She LOVES them!

Cousin Emily and Lizzy playing with her new Strawberry Shortcake toys. Thanks for playing Emily. I wish you were still here because guess who's imagination must do most of the work now? That's right, mine! :)

Ben playing with his new train. Little boy heaven. (P.S. I found that Christmas tree at a garage sale a couple of years ago for $5. Ben and Lizzy are sharing a room right now so we put this tree in the toy room. It was so much fun for the kids to have their own tree.)

Lizzy wearing another pair of new pajamas - Rapunzel from the new Disney movie "Tangled". She screamed with delight when she opened this gift.

The kids were so excited to have someone else to snuggle with and I don't think Emily minded either.
Here they are watching "Toy Story 3" - a family Christmas gift. This picture was actually taken on Sunday morning. So, Ben has had those new Spiderman pajamas on since Christmas Eve (Friday night). He would still be wearing them today, almost a week later, if I hadn't made him take them off for church on Sunday afternoon.



Emily even took a turn reading the kids a bedtime story. Lizzy is snuggled up in the Strawberry shortcake sheets Emily kindly passed down to Lizzy and Ben is finally wearing a different pair of pajamas. He also received 3 pair of pajamas for Christmas which he was very excited about because he LOVES wearing pj's all day.
