Christmas Kickoff!

I am determined to make memories for my kids...but of course on a shoestring budget.  I must say I really liked this idea I found on Pinterest...a Christmas goodies box of sorts, but I didn't like the fact that this was reserved for Christmas Eve.  I mean really...I want to get some wear out of those jammies! So {hopefully} we started a new tradition of Christmas PJs on Thanksgiving night.

Anyway...I was particularly happy with the way this one turned out.  I purchased the PJs on clearance last year at Target.  I had to go with a 2T for Andy in order to get them to match his brother...but they were only just a tad too big. Even better...it was a 2 pack...because we were getting a little needy in the PJ department.  I cleaned out a stack of DVDs at Gigi's and found/scavenged an unopened Rudolph...original claymation version.  It just so happened to be Daddy's favorite growing up.  {I on the other hand find claymation a little creepy for whatever reason.}  Popcorn in the cupboard and hot chocolate (which was really unnecessary but sounded good) was on sale BOGO at Publix.

Tulle makes everything festive...even better left over from Halloween!

I had the Christmas Kickoff Box waiting for them when they woke from their naps. P and C were all about it.  Andy just wanted Momma to hold him.

P loves that Woody hat.

Digging in.

A gets in on the action to see if it is anything other than another box of wipes.

Aunt K brought Madison and all of her "boys" over to watch Rudolph and have popcorn Thanksgiving night.  I'm hoping it is a new tradition for our crew!

PJs and Popcorn...a good end to Thanksgiving.

Looking forward to celebrating Christmas for the next month.  Now if I can just get the tree and decorations up before work starts back on Monday!
