Every Christmas Eve our family has the tradition of opening one present: Christmas Pajamas!!!This year we shared that tradition with Kyle Knight (Keri's fiance) and Nate's friend Valencia's kids.
Wait for it... wait for it...
YAY for new pajamas!!!!
Another tradition we have is sharing the Christmas story and acting it out. Morgan was Mary and Mathias was Joseph...
Here are the three old farts... I mean Three Wise Men... (who apparently like to "have it their way"...)
Christmas morning EVERYONE comes downstairs in age order. Lucky Steve got to participate this year!
Morgan got brand new Barbie clothes...or should I say her Barbies got a new wardrobe... I'm not sure what Lauren got but by the look on her face she was happy/excited/thrilled...
The newly weds and their first Christmas morning at the Jones' house...I ask, does it get any better than this? I submit that IT CANNOT!!!
Morgan and her new silky John Deer pajamas. Don't go looking for these at stores. They are custom designed by our family friend Kristy.
If you noticed Nate playing with the barbie doll instead of Tara with no make up on... I'm sure she'll appreciate it!
I made a new John Deer blanket/comforter for Kirby. It's so soft and warm. I think the kids used it several times before he got a chance to enjoy it...
Here are all the girls in their new Christmas pajamas. OF COURSE they HAVE to be matching/coordinated...
plus Nate...
Breakfast time! Unwrapping presents sure uses up a lot of strength...
Lauren and Nate enjoying breakfast... actually we wanted to get a picture of our favorite TV channel that comes on this time of year. It's called: "YULE LOG". It plays Christmas music and yule log scenes for about an hour and then repeats itself. Classic Jones family Christmas tradition.
Gustav's is a great German restaurant that is one of Kirby's favorite. We all went and enjoyed the sausage, pretzles, bread, fondue, schnitzle, bread pudding and other yummy foods.
We can't believe that Christmas has come and gone! Our thoughts are with all our family and friends and we wish you all a Happy New Year!!!
