He is Risen Indeed!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.  Ours was pretty good.  We walked to the church just down the street because we thought the kids might revolt if we put them in the car after driving 17 hours Friday/Saturday.  We had food with family and searched for eggs.  Lovely.

Tillie wore a Mini-Boden dress I bought at Nordstrom Rack for $13 last October.  I actually bought it the day before Teddy was born!  She discovered that her Beverly Hills Polo Club ballet flats from last year still fit, so she wore those along with last year's crewcuts cardgian.  I made her bow, but it wasn't a great match.  Coral ribbon can be hard to find!

I looked for some longalls to buy first, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.  After I won an eBay auction for a crewcuts argyle cardigan I figured I would have to make the longalls to get what I wanted.  I made them 2 months ago and I predicted that he would grow a little taller than he did.  I bought the white shoes with bells at at consignment sale for $1.50.  I thought they were perfect with this classic little baby look.

I like how their outfits "go" together without being too matchy.

White Cropped Denim

We're moving to Camp tomorrow.  That means Tillie's white Carter's denim will be at home for 6 weeks.  Even though it was a little cool, I pulled them out for one last wear for a while.  She's wearing them with a Gap top that was Kizie's.  The necklace is from Gymboree's Batik Summer.  She chose her shoes and glasses...

Easter

I bought Tillie's Easter dress last summer on clearance.  I just saw those blue flowers and knew it would be perfect with her blue eyes.  Simple white cardigans are a must on Easter, along with white shoes.  Her cardigan is crewcuts and the shoes are Beverly Hills Polo Club.

She wasn't in a great mood for posing this morning, but after church she was really happy.

I made her bow because the flower color was a little difficult to match.  I also needed ribbon for her Easter bonnet.  I re-purposed last year's Target dollar section hat.  As you can see, she was thrilled to wear it.

We had a lovely day and I hope you all did too.

Rain, Again

I decided to dress her brightly today because it's another cold, rainy day.  I made the skirt for her last fall and the tee is Cherokee from Target.  She's also showing off her Easter shoes.  They're white patent leather ballet flats by Beverly Hills Polo Club.  I bought them at the shoe outlet in Rockford a few months ago.  I bought a 5.5 because she was wearing 5 then and had for quite a while.  I was sure these would fit by a late Easter.  Yeah, they're still too big.  Not too big that she can wear them though.  She loves them and wears them all over the house.

I switched to a pink bow before we went to Meijer's.  She picked the black one this morning.
