the mowrer family christmas pajama party

Boy, I have a lot of photos to go through but I have one section of them finished. The holidays were very busy with gatherings, slumber parties and lots of wonderful visitors (Cera, the Gilmores AND the Linkers came in to see us!!!). The photos below are from the Mowrer Family Pajama Christmas Party. It's our tradition to play games, eat homemade pizza and desserts - and let's not forget the present opening. OK, here we go...

We all settled in to watch Christmas television before heading to bed.

The next morning we ate a delicious breakfast (oh, the croissants!) and then opened presents.

Lottie Sue loves Elijah (the cat), but he's not such a fan of hers. Here is why...

she never stops no matter how far he runs

OK, that's all I have for now. I will sift through the other photos and post more. If I get behind it takes so much to get it done!
