Christmas Pajamas

Tell the Christensen kids to strike a crazy pose and this is what you get. James got hidden in all the craziness. But he's in here...somewhere. I think... And Eliza can sleep through anything. Aunt Laurel got everyone matching pajamas (mostly matching--do you realize how difficult it is to find the exact same pattern for 8 different sizes???). We think she did pretty darn good. And the kids were happy. Here's Luke doin' a little dance. Uh-huh. Oh ya.
And James. He's a man of many emotions and expressions. Not sure what he's begging for...but it was a good shot.
Here are the five oldest all in a row. Luke is gettin' down again with some new dance moves. Peter is showing his most serious approval. James is wanting one front tooth for Christmas...could be two any day now. Anya loves to be surrounded by her boys. And Mark is...well, Mark. Good kids all around.
Now this picture is one that just makes you laugh. I can't look at it without letting out a little giggle. Luke is as happy as can be. He relishes every chance he gets to hold baby Eliza. And Eliza is freakin' out with those wide eyes. She knows she is in unstable hands and never knows what to expect when her "big" brother gets close. Love it.
And here we are. Christmas Eve with mostly matching pajamas. At the very least, they are all well-coordinated. Thanks Aunt Laurel for the pjs. They are extremely comfy. We'll put them to good use this winter.

Merry Christmas!

Okay, i can't stand how cute you guys are. And at least Eliza's are PINK. That was the best I could do.

Karen...SO sorry your pjs are SO big on you! I was a little worried they weren't adult sizes...it was a gamble. You are teeny and I know it. just so you know.

This made my heart totally smile. Almost like I was there.

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU CRAZY EIGHT.

xoxo
