It’s pajama time!
I love Christmas Pajamas as you can tell Payton and Logan have a lot of different Christmas pajamas. There even a few I didn’t get pictures of but they are so cute and I LOVE Christmas time there is just something about it , I think that it is the time of year when it gets cold and snuggling under a blanket in warm Pajamas and some hot chocolate is so fun. They have pajamas with gingerbread men, monkey’s , Santa, a sledding kitty and snowmen. We Love them all.

Christmas 2011
Payton woke up early on Christmas to see what Santa brought. She could not wait to open up all of her presents. Logan was happy too but I think for the most part he was just taking it all in. He did seem to eye my candy and some other things. After our stockings and presents that were under the tree were open we ate some yummy pancakes and played with our new toys. Payton played football with Daddy on Kinect sports.'
Later that afternoon we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Verver’s house for dinner and opened more presents. It was the Christmas of Pillow pets – funny thing is two of the three who received them were adults, not sure who was more excited… One was almost 4. I do wonder why the other child didn’t get one… Anyway we had a good time opening gifts and then watching the kids play with the toys. Payton and Grandma put on a concert using Logan’s new toys. Later Logan and I hung out and enjoyed the fire – he was mesmerized by it. Payton brought some pretend food to Rosie. A little later Great Grandma Visser came with Howard, Harlean and Debbie to have dessert and go to Candy Cane Lane. Payton and Great Grandma had a great time playing with the wooden dolls she got we had to tear them away so they could have some dessert. Candy Cane Lane was fun and we took our pictures in our two favorite spots. We have done this before we had kids so it is another long standing tradition for us.

Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve we celebrated with my parents which was a little bit different than how we normally celebrate. We started with the Christmas Eve Service at UPC which is always fun and entertaining. Payton loves it especially the angel who she talked to again when the service was over – she let Payton touch her wings. She think the Angel lives at Church where daddy works and is always looking for her.I guess in some ways the angel is there a lot since her husband works at the Church too. Logan was pretty good, a little squirmy but he eventually fell asleep which made it easier for me.
Then we went home changed then ate some yummy pizza and bread sticks. Next we open presents which Payton was so excited for, she kept asking for which present were for her and she helped Logan open his presents, He liked his presents but he REALLY like the Little People Zoo that Payton got. I love the expressions on their faces so excited and real , it is fun to watch them open up the presents and see their real reactions.
Later that night we said good by to Jingles our Elf on the Shelf and told him we would see him again next year. Payton said “we will be sad when he is gone” She still asks if he came back every morning.
We got some cookies and Milk ready for Santa , then went to put out the reindeer food. Then it was time for bed so that Santa could come. Merry Christmas Eve.
Payton loved talking to "the Angel" , She let Payton touch her wings.
My sweet kids all dressed up - the sure look good!

A Magical December evening
The Saturday before Christmas we drove down to Redmond Town Center to enjoy a free horse drawn carriage ride with the kids. It was a little bit of a wait but so much fun to see what it would have been like to travel long ago. Payton had a great time and loved it , I think we will be doing this again next year. We even saw Santa and Mrs Claus crusing around handing out candy canes.
After the carriage ride we loaded up and headed to Bellevue Square for Snowflake Lane.Traffic was crazy and we didn’t know if we would make it on time but we were lucky and had my parents saving a spot for us. Payton loves to see all the different characters as we waited and then she loves to sing and dance to the music when it starts. It is so much fun and the “snow” gives it a magical feeling. Logan enjoyed the tambourine guy and the drummer too. When it was through we headed down to Wendy’s for a bite to eat. If you have not been I recommend it , it is so beautiful and fun for the kids and after ( or before) you could grab a bite to eat somewhere. It is a fun tradition we look forward to every year.
