It is a Thomason Family tradition to get new Christmas pajamas every Christmas Eve. I like this tradition a lot and my kids love it as well. This year even the girl's dollies got jammies on Christmas Eve. Sarah got fuzzy Dora jammies and Cat loved her cozy flannel Hannah Montana jammies. Brady received sweat pants and t-shirts and I got new VS purple jersey jammers.

My Family had kept it a secret, including my two babies, I had no idea

My birthday was actually a surprise! This was my first birthday that I had not been either at home with my parents or with Brady's sister, Angela, so Brady actually had to plan it all himself. We had been planning to have a family dinner and I had invited some of my friends. After I invited them, Brady called and "uninvited them". They kept the secret though and so did my kids! I truly had no idea that wasn't what we were doing until I got to Grandma's and Brady refused to go get the kids and put them in the car until I came to help him. I was stressed that we were going to get home late and that my friends were going to think that we weren't coming, so I was upset that he wouldn't just go get the girls. I stomped over to Spencer and Karson's and should have realized it was much to quiet. I walked into the kitchen and they had decorated it all in purple and everyone yelled SURPRISE! I was very surprised and Brady was pretty pleased with himself that he had pulled it off. We had strawberry shortcake ( the real biscuit kind) and I opened presents and it was fabulous! I have to admit that I was a little mad at my husband for doing a surprise party. I don't really like surprises; it is the OCD, controlling aspect of my nature that just sucks all the fun right out of it. We did have fun though and I was really happy.

Catherine being Mary
Grandma had the Az grand kids over for a special FHE where they acted out the Nativity Story. Catherine got to be Mary this year and Sarah was very put out. She was convinced that she needed to be Mary, but got to be an angel with a scratchy pipe cleaner instead. She braved through it and smiled once or twice. Cat was sweet and offered to let her be Mary, but I could see how much she wanted to be Mary too, so I said it was okay for Sarah to be disappointed this year. Cat took her role very seriously and was a very reverent Mary. She loved that her favorite cousin, Kohl was Joseph. All the kids looked so cute and did such a good job.
