Ooops! I neglected to post a shot of the kids in their new pajamas. They were so excited, and they looked too cute. The boys were, of course, overjoyed to have new Cars PJs, and Lindsey looked like a delicious little candy cane! It has become one of our Christmas traditions for the kids to open one gift each on Christmas Eve, and it's always new jammies. Lindsey was chomping at the bit to tear into a package after weeks of trying so hard to resist all the inviting presents under the tree. (She only opened like 2 beforehand!) I don't know how excited Nathaniel was since he's old enough to have figured out the tradition, but when he saw he had Cars pants, all was well. So we took some photos of them dressed for bed, and Bradley's hat was part of his ensemble as usual. Another tradition we have is discussing the nativity and the story of Jesus' birth. The kids love it because there are visual aids, and they get to help tell the story. Bradley amazed us when telling about the wise men; we asked him if he knew what kind of gifts they brought the Baby Jesus, and he answered, "This is myrrh. This is gold. And this is....um...medicines." What a smart little guy! Lindsey loved playing with the little figures and telling us all about the Baby and His mommy and daddy. After that, we all sat together and I read them T'was the Night Before Christmas. Fun times.
