Christmas Pajamas

PJ's, Shirt

What will your kids wear on Christmas Morning? 

If you are looking for some cute Christmas pajamas for the kiddos, here are some options for you. These are just a few of the adorable Christmas pajamas I found at Weiss Baby. They range in sizes from Newborn to 4T. These would look so great for Christmas Photos or just to wear on Christmas morning when your little toddlers are opening up the presents.

PJ pants


The red striped set is made by Three Sisters, of 100% soft cotton. The shirt is a button-up style with a collar, a cute little Santa applique on one side, and cuffed long sleeves. The pants in this set have an elastic waist for a comfortable fit and a cuffed hem at the bottom. The set is trimmed with green piping cord. This is the perfect combination of comfort and style. 

The pajamas in the middle are a cozy, green striped set made by Blanks Boutique. They are made with fabric that combines cotton and spandex to create a bit of stretch for extra comfort. The shirt has a red crew neck and red banded cuffs on the sleeves. The pants have an elasticized waistband and red banded cuffs on the bottom. 

And who could miss those beautiful polka dots in the third set? These are also made by Blanks Boutique. They consist of a cotton/spandex blend of stretch knit comfort. The shirt has red polka dots and a green crew neck with green banded cuffs on the sleeves. The red polka dotted pants have an elastic waist and are also trimmed with green banded cuffs. 

If you have two or three little darlings, you could shop for all of them in one trip to Weiss Baby, for their Christmas pjs. They are machine washable and oh so cute! Weiss Baby will also monogram any of your selections, which adds an even more personalized and adorable touch to your child's pjs. 

Now all you need are the Christmas Cookies and milk!

This Amazing Life


Recently I photographed a beautiful baby girl. Her mother is so sweet and we had such fun creating these images together. We laughed at her baby's expressions and her cute little reindeer hat. We talked about how adorable she is and how fast she is growing. She fit perfectly in the tiny little sleigh, but it won't be long before she outgrows it.


I truly valued the time I got to spend with this new mom because I felt so connected to her. She truly gets how important this time is. Yes, there are a lot of things to do. But once time has slipped away, we don't get those moments back to spend with our little ones. They will soon grow up and be too big to cuddle any more.


I know that moms have a lot going on. Many are sleep deprived and tired. Many are scared. There are so many decisions to make about diapers and feedings and pacifiers. The list goes on and on. Many moms are trying to find balance between work and home life.

But my hope is that we don't forget to truly enjoy the time and the opportunities that we have. A newborn fits securely in mother's arms for a little while, but she will not be tiny forever. So if you have a newborn, be sure to snuggle up with her and cherish this grand occasion. These are such fleeting moments. Soak them up as much as you can before they pass you by. Take in those moments when it's just you and your baby. When the two of you get to be the main event. When you can kiss those tiny toes.


Yes, you still have to make decisions about schedules, and diapers, and bottles. And you'll get to that soon enough. But don't forget to really be fully present in the moment with your child. You are the most important person in her world. And she is the most important person in your world. Make sure she knows that. She needs you to be fully engaged. The dirty dishes can sit for a while. Occasionally, paper plates will do just fine. It isn't about perfection. It's about a beautiful life, a beautiful story.

I sensed that Becca really gets that, too. She just exudes delight for her newborn baby. I want to call out to new mothers everywhere and say don't ever let go of that feeling. It will be what carries you through the challenges. Enjoy those moments and be thankful for the time you have together.

I am thrilled to know this proud momma and her sweet, little bundle of joy. And I know that she is already an amazing mother. If you met her, I believe that she would tell you that this is an amazing journey. That her life will never be the same. That she has received a precious gift. That her child will teach her things that no one else can. That even with it's ups and downs, she will be forever grateful for this amazing life.


This little angel's name is Decker and she has Down Syndrome. It doesn't matter what she can and can't do. What matters is that she is loved and that she melts the heart of her mother and father. Her presence brings them delight and joy. And they cherish this precious gift.


I love the message in this video for expecting moms:
Dear future mom, don't be afraid. Your child will be able to do many things.

Yes, you may be scared. But you can do this. What you don't know, you will learn. It may be difficult. But it's so worth it. And there will be challenges. But there will also be unspeakable joy.

Welcome to motherhood!

Cherish this moment, this adventure, this amazing life!
