Handmade Christmas: Jams

Christmas PJs are a big tradition at our house. I made a pair for Todd and I a few years ago and they're lasting (fortunately we haven't outgrown them or anything.) But the kids get new pairs every year on Christmas Eve. I was pretty surprised that they totally were not expecting them this time. They were so excited when we showed them to them. I guess kids don't really catch on about traditions for a while.

Anyway, I couldn't be happier about these because the kids have pretty much worn them constantly since Christmas. They change in and out of them all day and wear them every night. I've washed them a few times already. Making clothing for your children is always risky business. Mostly they hate what you've made and refuse to wear it. Fortunately that did not happen this time. I think flannel and cozy have something to do with it.

Ike's picture is the closest we have to something in focus. You just can't get that kid to stand still. Also Zoë is trying her best not to laugh in the picture. It was Christmas Eve and she was pretty much twitching with excitement.
