Last year, I bought all of us quasi matching pajamas for Christmas because Matt was always super jealous of how cozy Thomas looked in all his footed pajamas. Quasi matching because I couldn't find any footed pajamas that came in both baby and adult size - but they were all dinosaur print. Well it turns out for hot natured people, footed pajamas sound better than they are... So this year, I went with normal pajamas that really did match - for the *whole* family. :)
And of course the dogs just loved their pajamas as you can tell by their refusal to look at the camera...! Ha! Your cuteness is still noted, my furry babies!
After the obligatory picture in front of the tree, it was on to breakfast. Matt requested donuts. But not bought donuts and not made from scratch - he wanted biscuit donuts like his mom used to make. I figured, why not? We rarely even fry anything at home (because I love fried food way to much to make a habit of that), but it was a special occasion! I googled techniques online but could decide between big biscuits \ little biscuits or glazed \ chocolate \ cinnamon sugar.
So ! did a combination of everything!
My frying skills aren't that great, so the big ones turned out a little underdone as nice as they looked - I made holes after all! But the smaller ones were delicious. I think the cinnamon sugar coating was my favorite. But it's hard to beat fried dough dipped in butter and coated in sugar... ;)
Thomas entertained himself while I was making breakfast by playing like he was cooking. He kept pretending to dump spices into a bowl, then he would stir them and eat a pretend spoonful and say "Mmmmmm". It was pretty adorable. I can't wait until the little guy can help for real. It's going to be so fun!
Later we took Thomas out to play on his new sled we got him for Christmas. I insisted on the one with the belt since we're all new to this sledding bit and it seemed easier for him to sit up in with the high back. Matt ran him up and down the cul-de-sac in it. I think Matt might have been a little more into it than Thomas was...
And you might have noticed his gloves don't quite match. His Aunt Heather gave him a new set of matching gloves and hat for Christmas while she was here at Thanksgiving:
Well we kinda already "mis-placed" one of the mittens, so we had to scrounge around to find something for the little guy to keep his left hand warm. So he got one of Matt's gloves. We really should invest in several pairs of mittens - if the parents can't keep track of them, what hope does he have...? "/
