You never know when a random act might become a "Christmas Tradition"...
Last year, I made Snowman pajamas for Lilly and Warren. And this year -- I have already signed them up for the "Polar Express Pajama Party" at the Putnam Museum. SO OF COURSE I MUST MAKE THEM NEW CHRISTMAS PAJAMAS...
**************
From Last year...
I look at these pictures of Lillian and Warren, and I wonder what they will remember? Maybe it will be their Christmas pajamas. Every year, I buy/make/Frankensew pajamas.
 |
| Lilly has always loved Frosty the Snowman. (this one is battery operated, and when you push the button, he sings, and dances -- ending with a butt twerking move...) |
 |
| Her pjs ARE Frosty all over...Warren had a little snowman on his..it's Frankie's first Christmas... |
 |
| Lilly actually WILL sit for a picture if she's holding Frankie...AND she'll try that fake smile... |
 |
| A better picture of Warren's snowman... |
 |
| Lilly with a dog...Warren with his B's...in her bed, with the special Christmas coverlet... |
 |
| They're just pretending to sleep, of course... |
 |
| I wonder if, 16 years from now, either one of them will remember their Frosty pajamas... |
Another tradition is my plastic snowman tablecloth...and my huge collection of plastic Snowman dishes. We start to use them the week after Thanksgiving.
 |
| Mostly, I'm posting this picture because it has Lilly's Gingerbread House. My cousin Kim had a party at her house...and this became our centerpiece for the whole season! Lilly was so proud... |
*****************
For the record -- Lilly is still wearing her Frosty Snowman pajamas. They are her favorite thing, and she wears them every time she spends the night. After I took these pictures, I don't think Warren ever wore his again...
I have the greatest slipper pattern that I used last year to make everyone Christmas slippers. In fact, Jim has 3 pairs of slippers from the pattern - Christmas and his two favorite sports teams.
