We spend the day at home, cleaning, finishing up Christmas presents, baking and wrapping. The Hillyards invited us over for an early dinner. After hanging out in our pajamas all day, I talked the kids into getting dressed and even got to curl the girls’ hair! I had to take pictures. RJ had painted their nails on Sunday. Beth made this bracelet for Reagan two years ago and I finally got her to wear it! So many victories.
Hunter surprised me. He told me he wouldn’t wear anything nice (sweats only). I figured as long as he changed his underwear, it wasn’t worth the battle. He snuck into my bathroom and put gel in his hair, clipped his own fingernails and put on his nice clothes (jeans)!
We had a lot of fun with Tim and Lisa and their family. When we got home, we let the kids open their pajamas but were clean out of time for Miracle on 34th Street and reading Luke 2 as planned. We did manage to sing a few Christ centered Christmas songs, read scriptures (BofM) and pray. I bribed the kids to go straight to bed with an extra respect ticket. Hunter won but the girls took the competition seriously and it paid off.
Reagan’s jammies lasted about 30 seconds. She is VERY particular about her clothes these days. She only wants to wear dresses, three specifically (no tights, leggings, socks, undershirts, sweaters…)
