Since Christmas Eve will end up being a little busy for us with church and all, we decided to let the kids open a fun little present tonight, on Christmas Eve’s eve. I put together a box with new pajamas, snuggly animals, popcorn, pop, cocoa and a little note saying that we were going to have pizza, pop and popcorn for supper while we watched a special Christmas movie!
Sawyer woke up with a fever this morning and hasn’t felt great today. Poor girl. I think the present made her feel a little better.
She was really excited about her new jammies and her teddy! She has a soft place for all things cozy and cuddly.
Brother looked pretty cute in his santa jammies, too. Who doesn’t love a little something on a baby’s tush!?
We had to take pictures in front of the tree, with our new animal friends, no less.
Daddy read one of Sawyer’s favorite Christmas books while I got the pizza ready and Wryder sort of paid attention.
One of Sawyer’s Boz movies had a preview for a movie called The Very First Noel. We are BIG Boz fans and it’s produced by the same company so I assumed it would be good, but I couldn’t find it anywhere! They aren’t producing them anymore and the only used ones I could find were $35. YIKES. Enter YouTube. We found it online and I am sooooo glad we did! If you have the chance to watch it, DO IT! It’s the Christmas story told from a wiseman’s perspective and is incredibly well done. Sawyer loved it, as did the rest of us.
I love having special time with my little family. My parents always did a good job of making Christmas memorable for us and I hope Sawyer and Wryder say the same about us one day.
HE is worth making a fuss about…as are they.
