Fox in Socks . . . errr Pajamas

By popular demand, here are the pictures you all have been waiting for. Well, maybe only 2 of you but still.

On Christmas Eve, my parents give us all pajamas. Actually, John and I get 2 sets of pajamas because his parents also give us pajamas.

Just tangenting here - I love this. I have recently become obsessed with pajamas/loungewear. After my sister's baby showere (which was a total hit!), I ended up staying at parents' house instead of driving home. They told me they could just find me something to wear to bed, but I insisted on going to the store and buying new pajamas. (I got the cutest brown velour pants and hoodie.) My brother says I have an addiction. This was confirmed when we went to Target last night, and I bought yet another pair of pj pants. In my defense, they were on clearance for $3. How could I not buy them? ;)

Anyway, when I was helping my mom pick out the pj's at Christmas, I wanted to get Princess some. I looked all over and had no luck. Then right after Christmas, I finally found some. So, of course, I bought 2 pairs. This way, she wears one now and has her own pair to open next Christmas!



She loves them. In fact, she has started growling at me and John when we try to take them off her. In overall training, that seems like a bad thing . . . but it is just so cute that she loves them that much.

Thing of the Week

So, I am kind of skipping over Christmas and the New Year. But it was all wonderful. I got lovely red pots and pans from John. And the best thing ever from my cousin Sydney.Apparently, she stalked my blog looking for ideas. She is seriously the greatest ever - love you Syd!

Anyway, so I saw this and thought I would try it out - posting my favorite thing every week, not something big, just something random I am currently obsessed with. And this week's current obsession is Crisco cooking spray with flour!
Yeah, it sounds crazy, but this stuff is amazing. Banana bread, bundt cakes, anything with no sticking to the pan. And it's quick - just spray and you're done. No greasing and flouring. I love it!
