Pajamas, Grandparent Gifts...and Silly Guinea Pigs!

Another Christmas tradition at our house is the jammies and a book from mom and dad on Christmas Eve. This is what we always give the kids! Everyone seemed to really like the jammies!
Missy and her snowflake polar bear pajamas. Kimmy picked them out for me this year--she was my helper on "all-things-Christmas" *smile* I couldn't have done it without her!

I didn't realize until I was wrapping the presents up how similar the pajamas were on the two girls' gifts! They both had snowflake pajamas! Kimmy's looked so comfy...if she can't find them...check my room LOL!

Stevie just looks too cool in his Mario pajama bottoms. Boys are too cool to wear a top...and I quit buying them a few years back...since all his bottoms would wear out--but the shirts looked new still. *grin* He always just wears his bathrobe he got a few years back with them since I keep the air conditioning cranked up...I hate Texas heat!

Living so far from home is hard...I wish my parents could be here to watch the kids open their presents! I always try to call them so they can "hear the excitement" as the kids open the presents from Grandpa and Grandma! Mom always just sends money and tells me to pick something "cool". This year they were thrilled to get DS games for their gameboy! Missy got Ninten-dogs.

Stevie was excited to get "Age of Mythology" I LOVE Gamestop and their used games! Saves on my budget and lets us look COOL when the kids get fun games *grin*

And Kimmy got "Animal Crossing"! It was great! They were thrilled (once again, Kimmy...thanks for the help LOL) They got an extra treat because Grandpa and Grandma Weatherston also sent money...and they got a Wii game for Christmas too! (I can't spell the title LOL) What a blessing from all the people who love them!! It made a small Christmas seem that much bigger! (And let ME have several days of QUIET while they all played with their games!)

The guinea pigs even got a present for Christmas. Kimmy was very adament that they get a present too! We let them out of their cage to come join the Christmas fun!


Here is their present...a log filled with treats...however...


...Just like kids...they had more fun playing with the packaging! They played in the paper the whole time we opened our presents! Silly piggies *smile*
