More of the Cutest Kids in the Whole Wide World

Here you have it, the final installment of the 2008 Christmas Pajamas Series. Here's a brief run-down of the results: Sadie (8) has horse pajamas, which she loves. After I took in the elastic on the waist they fit perfectly. Brigham (6) has amazon explorer pjs with geckos on them. No alterations required! Bonnie Ann (4) has a princess nightgown. Aunt Amanda loves nightgowns because they always fit! Isaac (4) has rocket pjs. He LOVES rockets. But the poor kid pulled up his pj pants and they fell right back down. I took out about 6 inches of elastic from the waist so now they don't fall down, but they're so big they sort of look like Hammer Pants. Oh well, 3 more years and he'll grow right into them! Taylyn (3) has cars on his jammies and in his nonchalant sort of way seems to like them. Zachary (2.5) has football pjs which he insists on wearing 24/7. He even already ripped out a seam! Luckily Aunt Amanda the tailor was there for repair work. Lincoln (2.5) has animal pjs and he loves them because he loves dinosaurs. True there are no dinosaurs on the pjs but he apparently thinks giraffes, elephants, etc. are dinosaurs so he is quite happy with them even though they are way too long. Sweet Ellie (almost 2) has strawberry jammies and looks just adorable in them. Rexton (1) has elephant pjs which he absolutely hates. He screamed and screamed when they put them on him. Can't win 'em all I guess. Kayla (7 mo.) has flower pjs because that was the only knit fabric they had at JoAnns. Luckily she is too young to care! The hat is my favorite. Well, that and the fact that hers have ruffles on the bum.

So there you have it, 16 pairs of pajamas. I will use this posting as official notification that this will never happen again. While Jerel and I have enjoyed our run as favorite Aunt & Uncle next year we plan to have Paisley in the shopping drawing with the other cousins and call it good. We are getting too old to be the spoilers and I'm guessing once I'm chasing around a little one I won't have time for so many pajamas. It doesn't help that everyone keeps procreating! By next Christmas there will be at least 19 nieces/nephews and I just can't keep up! Let me know if any of you are interested in the favorite Aunt/Uncle title and we'll pass the royal crowns along!
