The girls all put on their pink snowman Christmas jammies while we got the air mattress ready. Emily had no idea what was going on, but she was a big fan of the event nonetheless.
Then we read some Christmas books, including our latest addition to our collection, “Llama Llama Holiday Drama.” We love the llama llama books and were excited she came out with one for Christmas.
The girls played and looked at the tree. Emily and Brooke even took a “pretend we are sleeping” picture for me.
When it was actually time for them to go to sleep, I took Emily upstairs to her bed. Maybe next year she will get to be an official Hansen Christmas Camper.
Brooke and Katelyn and 500 stuffed animals and blankets eventually went to sleep under the Christmas tree and woke up the next morning exhausted but begging to do it again the next night. It seems as though what started as a “one night during-the-holidays” tradition has graduated to an “anytime we don’t have school the next day” activity. I am becoming such a pushover in my old age.

You are seriously the BEST mom ever. You do so many fun things with your girls and keep a record of it too. MISS YOU!
I want to join your Christmas campout, that is my kind of camping. I love looking at all those pretty smiles.
I love this tradition! I read about this last year and totally forgot to do it with my kids this year--maybe I should set a reminder for myself! I can't believe how big Emily is getting! Such a cute trio of girls!
