New Year's PJs!!!

Every year, Auntie Dorothy and Nana Lorraine give our kids new pjs for the holidays. So to ensure that both are thanked in equal measure, I wisely decided that the kids should have a bath and then open Nana'a package on Christmas Eve, but wait until New Year's Eve to bathe and open the 2nd parcel (I assure you that they do bathe about twice in between!).

But that way, they are wearing Nana's when she arrives on Christmas morning (http://wedgley.blogspot.com/2011/12/now-back-tracking.html ) and Auntie Dorothy's for our family New Year's gift opening. And both get in the photos for posterity!

As you can imagine, there is by year 4 (?) of this tradition quite a collection of excellent pyjamas, especially for Sophie who inherits her brother's. Her favourite had been the Nutcracker/double decker/Christmas present pair from 2009 (?) but I think she will love both new pairs all year long: bright Sophie-wisdom owls


and an appliqued puppy dog top (never knew that bright yellow looked so grand on her) , plaid bottoms and a coordinating 'stuffie' (as little stuffed animals are currently called).
