It is a first grade tradition at our school for the children to come back to school one evening just before Christmas in their PJs for a special The Polar Express night. Livvy and Katy were so excited, they could barely finish dinner (I'll blame it on excitement, and not the fact that they didn't really like my baked ziti...). They were greeted by their teachers, who were also sporting PJs, and each received a golden ticket to board. Then it was hot cocoa and Christmas cookies all around, a craft, and finally each student received a jingle bell to prove that they still believed, just like the boy in the story.

Love the whole tradition and can't blame the girls for being excited. The look so cute, as always. When I taught at Forest Hill, in the winter we had a Bear themed bedtime day where the entire two and one half hrs.was geared to sharing our bedtime routines. We made the food, ate it, wore bedtime outfits, sang and read bedtime-themed songs/stories, and it was a delightful tradition too. This photo and your story brings back precious memories...
