PJs of Christmas Past...

We are so excited to share today's card with you! Holly has been a loyal follower of YMM from the beginning but we only met her IRL this past May - which is hard to believe because she and Merry Momma K exchange about 103 texts each week. She's kind, loving, selfless and just the most fun mom and friend! We know you'll love her and her DARLING family as much as we do... 




Who: The McBertys - Mike, Holly, Colby, Holden, Hope and our dog, Kennedy
Also known as the family that is simply too cute for their own good. I can't even deal with Hope's expression in that pic.

Location: College Station, TX

Props: Just our bed and our dog

Clothes: Girls are wearing Carter's pj's and the rest of us have pj's from Old Navy

{Mom}ments: I'm uber sentimental and love pictures of the kids at the same stages - and wearing the same clothes, if possible!  I realized when Hope was born that we would have to recreate this card and love that we could use "visions of Christmas past".

Holly, all we really want to know is - when is this card coming around again? We think perhaps for Colby's senior year in HS. He will love it and we will, too!

Designer: Brooke Designs 

Ummm. Let's pause and discuss a few things:

1. We love finding new places to order items
2. Her webpage is adorable
3. These are some of our favorite designs

You can find these and all of her holiday designs here. 

Photographer: my mother-in-law, Mary, took the original picture and my best friend, Shelly, took the two most recent pictures

Favorite Thing: I LOVE that Shelly convinced my husband to move our bed to our backyard for better lighting!

We do, too. Good call Shelly. 


From the Mommas: 

There are so many fun ideas for Christmas pj pics - we had to stop searching but no worries - there could be an entire post on this soon! (And if you are looking for the PERFECT birth announcement pic, please see #2 below. Matching pjs, sleeping baby, "shhhing" sibling. YES!)

But if we are being honest, this is what it looks like more often at our houses... 

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 

And we even found some fun ideas for fur babies...
1 / 2 / 3 / 4

Our plan was to leave you with some of our favorite places to shop Christmas Pjs, but y'all - they aren't online yet. WHAT?!? That's crazy but also kind of awesome. Way to give Halloween it's time in the spotlight, retail giants. Ghosts, ghouls and goblins everywhere thank you. 

We, however, are only slightly annoyed.


Out of our top picks, The Company Store, is the only one that has items out and they are SUPER on sale. So click and spend save. Hanna Andersson, Gap, Old Navy and even Carters haven't put up anything yet. You can always search Christmas PJs on Etsy and never run out of options!!!

Festive Friday: Babies got their pjs on!



Who: Jackson and Sutton

Location: Our home in good ol' College Station, TX

Props: Fur rug, glittery gifts and ornaments. I REALLY don't want to share my love for this store, but I guess I will for the sake of a CHRISTMAS blog ;). (sidenote: Aren't our readers the best?!) The ornaments and gifts were purchased at a craft store/Christmas warehouse in Houtson called Craftex. You will go to heaven. The fur rug is from Sutton's nursery and my husband found it - no clue where!

Clothes: Reesey Roo's. Tara Stribling is a monogramming goddess. She has the cutest ideas - this year I got all the cousin's matching pajamas.

Comments: I really didn't plan out my Christmas card last year. I had all sorts of intentions of doing something but I just couldn't pull our outfits together life I wanted, so this cuteness is what you get.

Designer: Tiny Prints

Photographer: The one and only Sarah Burns

Favorite Thing: MY KIDDOS! And their absolute adorableness in coordinating PJs.

Blog: A Mister and A Sister

******************
Merry Mommas' Thoughts: We love the focus on the kids. We really love that Stephanie just said NO to something. Because y'all, that's okay to do! She couldn't make a family pic work, so she didn't force it. And this is PERFECT! Sometimes the best gift you can give yourself is the right to say no. (Let's put that on a coffee cup.) (And then fill it with wine.) 

******************
How can you recreate this card? Babies in pjs?!? Need we say more? We didn't think so...

There are some adorably cute pajamas out there, allow us to highlight some of our favorites.


Hanna Andersson - Both Mommas get this magazine regularly. We both flip through, texting each other pics of things we love and then hardly ever make a purchase. BUT, Merry Momma C did spring for some HA pjs last year and well... #noregrets.

 

And, they have your entire family covered. How cute are these?!?




And y'all. They have an amazing promotion with TINY PRINTS going on right now. FLOOD their orders with YMM readers. Just go. GO! (It ends November 9).

And if that's not enough - they are on SALE! Basically free people.


Reesey Roo's - We love the thought of spending local and Stephanie was right about this shop's embroidery skills. Check out some of her options:



And she also has options for the whole family!


We also love that she used a rug as a backdrop - you could also use a blanket for the same effect. Here are three of our favorites.



And - remember that the plan may not always work. One certain Merry Momma had an idea to get a picture of her kids in front of a tree... turns out that getting a picture of their backs to the camera were going to have to work... and you know what... it did.


Get PINspired:
1. We have an entire board of PJ inspiration
2. And Christmas ornaments
3.   And SIBLINGS!
