Crouching Diaper, Hidden Jammies

In our family there is a tradition of opening one gift on Christmas Eve. I remember the tradition starting because I asked for Karate pajamas one year, so my parents let me open them the night before Christmas. Since then, every Christmas eve we all get some form of pajamas.

This year was J.R.’s first Christmas. Amazingly, my sister was able to find these jammies that my parents then gave to J.R. for Christmas Eve. He has Karate pajamas, and he’s only 8 months old.

What you see in this picture is J.R. doing his first ninja moves. If you check out our Christmas Eve pictures, you can see some more shots of J.R. all decked out like a ninja. He even has a little ninja hat thing, which you can see in this picture. He isn’t a big fan of the hat, but I think it looks pretty cool.

Goofiest Looking Christmas Tree

Well, we stalked the wild pine last weekend, and we bagged ourselves one funny looking tree. We have been cutting down our own Christmas trees for four or five years now, and my family has been taking part in this tradition for probably more than 15 years – and we still bring home trees that are too short, too tall, too fat, too full of spiders (that year was rough). You would think that after all of those years of cutting down trees we would have a pretty good idea of what looks good in our house, but we don’t. This year we had two criteria:

1. Don’t get a tree that is too tall. We may want to place it in our bay window.

2. Trim up enough branches so J.R. can’t reach anything to pull the tree down.

Here is what we ended up with:
