This year we started a tradition of opening a couple of presents on Christmas Eve.
Last year after Christmas I found these cute pajamas for the girls. I thought it would be fun for them to have something new to wear for Christmas morning.
We've tried to get in the habit of buying some good Christian, Christmas books for them. We we decided to let them open one book on Christmas Eve too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

This year I got a little crafty with my gifts.
I found this idea online and adapted it to work for me. There are seven 4x4 blocks with different letters on four of the sides. With those seven blocks you can spell about 15 seasonal/holiday words like:
They were a lot of fun to make and I think they were welcomed with a smile!

ohh...I love your "block" idea! So cool! I thought about doing something similar actually for a gift for my sister in law using season words (spring, summer, winter, autumn) but I went another direction than using blocks.
Silly bandz...I think I would like them more if I weren't teaching:) I'm sure you can imagine.
love the pjs and the new family picture at the top!
looks like the blocks were a hit! and you found a way to keep the letters straight!
