My one thing that I remember from having slumber parties with my cousins was the footie pajamas that we would all wear. I guess that since we were only about six years old and lived way up north where sometimes you did not leave the house for days if a big snowstorm came through, it made sense to be all bundled up.

I wanted to get my sisters and cousins something for Christmas that would remind them of all the fun we used to have. I bought each of them some footie pajamas that I found in adult sizes online. I also got them each a different board game, just like the ones that we used to play for hours at a time.

I sent off the packages early enough in the month that I knew they would get them before the holidays. I think that they all made it to their destinations about the same day since I got five calls all within four hours of each other. My one cousin told me that every time she walks by the toddler pajamas section and sees the footie pajamas she thinks of those slumber parties. I invited all of them to come out where I live and bring their new pajamas along and we could have an old fashioned slumber party like we used to do.
