"Oh, What A Good Mom Am I!"

So, I'm rather proud of myself that amidst all the chaos of shopping, wrapping, cooking, and still trying to work I was able to carve out time for one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Christmas jammies! My kids love opening up their new jammies every Christmas Eve. This year I made cute white w/green polka dots for the girls and green and white stripes for the boys. I'm sure I'll post Christmas pictures later w/the kids wearing them so you can all be impressed with my amazing talent. Rachel made very cute ones for her kids too. By the way...do we look like tired Christmas mommies or what! Yesterday I actually pulled a twenty hour day! Oh, 'tis the season. I think I'm FINALLY done with the shopping and can get to the fun parts of Christmas-cooking with my kids, driving around and looking at the lights, reading Christmas stories. All the things I hope will make good memories for my kids. I don't just want them to remember me as "stressed out and tired mom" every Christmas.

    I am so jelous. I stole your Christmas tradition idea of new jammies the Christmas I spent with your family and you got me pink ones with Hawaiian flowers on them. I still have them. This year I just bought ours. I even got some for dad since he will be staying at our house. Next year I am going to try and make them. Can't wait to see them on the kids!

    Wonder mom here. I wish I did that every year, maybe that's a tradition I should start instead of buying jammies for xmas eve. I made a darling quilt for Sydney this year. I was really proud of it too. I am going to post it soon. So Nick and I are going back to Knotts on tuesday so we can ride all the fun rides. You and Matt should join us. The more the merrier.

    Wow!! That is so awesome...what a fun idea! I just buy my Christmas Eve PJ's, but it would be so much more fun to make them...maybe someday! I hope my kids don't remember me as tired, stressed out mom either!
