tradition.

so it has become a tradition to buy matching christmas pj's for all the cousins. i was about to post this years pics, and i started thinking about how much things have changed in the past 4 years! of course that took me down memory lane, where i found christmas pics from 2007 until now. hope you enjoy looking back at them as much as i did!
in 2007, caden was around 19 months old, kenley had just turned 1, trace was 9 months, and laura grace only a few months old! W-O-W! in 2008... caden was almost 3, kenley had just turned 2, trace was almost 2, and lala was 1. again, wow. look at caden's shaggy hair... lala's fat little face and lack of hair, kenley's little baby face with her short hair, and oh my word what is lucas doing in this pic? oh wait, that is trace!! can you say twins??
in 2009... caden was almost 4, kenley had just turned 3, trace was almost 3, lala was 2, and we added 2 new boys to the mix! lucas was 11 months and mason was 9 months! if you look closely, you can see all 6 kiddos looking out the front door for santa. (the baby boys are on the floor, and lala is to the very right in front of kenley!) look at those sweet babies!

and now... in 2010... drum roll please. caden will be 5 in april, YES, 5!!! kenley just turned 4. trace will be 4 in march. laura grace is now 3, lucas will be 2 in january, and mason 2 in march. in case you've lost track, that's 6 cousins currently 4 years old and younger. yes, life around meme's house when they are all together is ummm, hectic, to say the least!
but we wouldn't have it ANY.OTHER.WAY.
* please note, i think they officially outgrew the doorway in 2009. didn't try for that pose this year! :o)

so i present to you, the 4 boys in this year's matching plaid snowmen pj's and the 2 girls in sweet little gowns...
the whitt cousins christmas pics of 2010!!!
i can hardly believe my eyes... to look back from 2007 and see how all the kids are growing so fast. it is crazy how times flies!!
the christmas pj's are only one of many traditions we have with our sweet kiddos. i look forward to continuing it each year, and secretly i wonder how long can we get away with matching them? hopefully at least another 7 or 8 years!!! :-)
