Visit From the Christmas Spider

A few years ago we started one of my favorite Christmas traditions. The night we put the Christmas tree up and decorate it, we get a visit from the Christmas spider. Our spider was made by Mimi and Aunt Elyse and when she appears on the tree she also leaves a present for the girls. Which is always their Christmas pjs. After we open the presents and put on the new pjs we read the book 'Cobweb Christmas'. It's a great way to start off the Christmas season. I think next year when the spider makes her visit she will also decorate the tree with tinsel (goes along with the book).

After Amelia opened her present she would not let me take the pjs out of her hands. She knew they were just for her. Once she finally let me put them on her she got so upset the next morning when I went to take them off. So, she wore them all the next day as well. In fact, both she and Eleanor have lived in their pjs. When it's cold out and we don't leave the house, why not just let them stay in their pjs all day??Searching for the Christmas Spider.
Eleanor has decided to switch from using the index finger to the middle finger to point to everything.
