Christmas Day!

The kids have all worn their Christmas outfits quite a few times this season, but I was able to shake up Beatrix and Teddy's outfits a bit.

Teddy really wanted to wear his "doggy shirt that says off to Grandma's", but it was dirty and in the wash because he wore it on Christmas Eve.  I remembered I had this Jumping Beans moose shirt from my cousin and I dug in the 3t bin before church to find it.  He was very happy with it and thought it was hilarious that the moose was wearing a scarf.  We layered it over a Gap button-up and red skinny jeans.  He wanted his TOMS, but I think his camel boots would have been a cute match to the moose!

Beatrix wore an Old Navy dress with Trumpette tights.  I bought the tights when I was pregnant with Teddy because they were 70% off.  They never worked for him, but I'm glad I save them!  Unfortunately, I put them in a separate bin in November and forgot about them until this week.  I wish she would have gotten to wear them more!

Tillie wore her DreamSpun dress that has been well documented this month.  I'm hopeful that it will still fit her next year!

A Quick Gardens Stop

I had a few errands on the other side of town, so I decided to make it an "event" and go to the Gardens.  I let the kids watch Elf in the car and they thought it was awesome!

Tillie wore a Jumping Beans top and Cherokee tutu skirt with crewcuts tights and Circo cat shoes.

Teddy's first choice of shirt (a size 3 Tea Collection tee) was too big, so he settled for this Tea fox shirt.  It's layered over a Rabbit Moon button-up (50% off at OUAC) that doesn't really match, but he didn't want to take it off.  It is pretty soft, actually.  Gap jeans and TOMS complete his outfit.

Today we made Bea's Zutano swing top even more festive by adding Christmas BabyLegs,  She's also wearing a Carter's bodysuit and Old Navy tights.  Her bow is Dear Grace and Parker.

More Christmas

Just when you think my pictures can't get any worse. I bring you these three, all with bad lighting and questionable focus.

Tillie's outfit was darling, but you can't really tell.  She's wearing a Jumping Beans tee and Gap Lodge skirt($1 find at OUAC!  I'm a sucker for that line.).  She never left the house, so no shoes.

Teddy's wearing a Gap button-up and Jumping Beans tee I got 50% off at Once Upon a Child this week.  It's hard to find boy Christmas tees that aren't a dog wearing a santa hat.  He likes this one, but insists that it's a dog and not a bear.

Bea's wearing a Gap thermal I appliqued when Tillie was a baby.  Her jeans are also Gap.  Her bow is Dear Grace & Parker and I made the velvet headband to use with different clips.

Tree Day!

My sweet Teddy wore the same Jumping Beans shirt last year when we went to get our tree.  He can still wear the Gap jeans as well, but they were in the wash.  His plaid shirt is OshKosh from Goodwill and his boots are Carter's.  His coat is Gap.

Tree Day!

And you know I had to do it in style.  I'm in love with Teddy's outfit.  I bought his Jumping Bean Christmas tee last year after Christmas.  It's actually the only Christmas tee he has and I haven't seen anything else I really like that much.  I layered it over a plaid shirt from The Children's Place(thrift store) and red Gap skinny jeans.  The jeans are a 2t and too big, but they're so perfect for this season I couldn't resist.  (And since his favorite color is red he loves them too.  He'll probably wear this again to Christmas parties when we go to each Grandma's house.

Tillie's also wearing a Jumping Bean shirt I bought last year after Christmas.  Since we were going outside to get our tree on a rather cold day she wore H&M jeans, but she wore this last weekend with a red tutu skirt and it was darling.  To school she wore pink Converse, but to get our tree she wore Target Fuggs.

Camp Cute

I think this outfit is a great mix of appropriate for Camp and still Tillie's style.  She's wearing a cream Gap Seaside tank.  It's size 3.  She wore it once last year, but it really was too big.  It fits a lot better this year.  I like the criss-cross straps in the back.  The pink knit shorts are Jumping Beans, purchased on extreme clearance last winter at Kohl's.  The necklace is crewcuts and I love it so much that I actually borrow it from time to time.  The My Little Pixies hydrangea clip is also a favorite of mine, but I don't borrow that one. ;)  Of course, her pink Keens make any "Camp" outfit.

Stripes

We're all rocking stripes today.  Tillie's wearing a Gap Cannes dress with crewcuts flip-flops.

Teddy's wearing a Jumping Beans set from Kohl's.  The shirt makes me laugh, the shorts remind me of Mini-Boden and were both purchased cheaply with a 30% off coupon. Win-win-win.

After breakfast at Camp we went to the market and ate French macarons.  Lovely.  My kids wholeheartedly approved. (And then we brought Uncle Philip's camera back. :( )

Play Clothes

I struggle a little bit with play clothes.  I like clothes a little too much to just throw any old thing on them.  I buy a lot of clothes at thrift stores and garage sales, but I'm still picky about what I buy.  These two outfits are play clothes that "work" for me.  Well, kind of.

Teddy's outfit is actually knew, but Jumping Beans from Kohl's can be had very inexpensively if you watch for coupons and markdowns.  I got this top for $2 and my mom got the shorts for less than $4 I think.  The shorts remind me of Mini-Boden.  I got his Genuine Kids sandals on half price day at the thrift store.  Yeah, I think they were worth 50¢.

I got Tillie this Gap Coral dress at Goodwill.  Her Keen sandals wouldn't be my first choice with it, but they're perfect for Camp.  I got them for $7 from Piperlime with a referral credit earlier this spring.  She LOVES this dress.

Christmas Tree Tee

Here's Tillie's other holiday themed Jumping Beans tee.  I bought it the same time I bought the cookie one.  She's worn this one a number of times already, but this is the first picture I've gotten of it.  Today she's wearing it with a Mini-Boden purple cord skirt, polka-dot BabyLegs and Freycoo boots.

Tillie's Choice

My sweet girl picked every part of her outfit today.  I suggested a Christmas tree shirt to match Ted, but she insisted on the Jumping Beans cookie tee, Circo petticoat, two gingerbread cookie hair clips and size 9 Circo sparkle shoes.  (She wears size 7.  Maybe 7.5.)  She kept going in the bathroom to check the mirror all morning.

Teddy's wearing a Circo tee that's a hand-me-down from Tillie.  It's not a Christmas shirt, but with a evergreen on it paired with a red plaid Peek shirt he looks pretty festive!  He's wearing Old Navy bootcut jeans.  I added brown Robeez boots when we went out.

Christmas Cookies & a Treehouse

 This morning Tillie went with Kizie to a Families of International Children party.  There's a lot of little crafts, games and cookie decorating, so this Jumping Beans tee was perfect.  I got it super cheap after Christmas a year or two ago.  I think it looks really cute with this pink crewcuts skirt and Christmas themed BabyLegs.  Her clip was a Christmas present from Aunt Betsy a couple years ago and is shaped like a present.

I have the feeling this outfit will be repeated for Preschool this month.  It just seems right for that.

Teddy ran errand with me and Tim wearing a Gap Tree House body double and Gap jeans.  I love that this shirt has a tiny little v-neck.

Yard Work

This afternoon I dressed the kids in some hooded sweatshirts and took them outside to rake some leaves.  Yep, hooded sweatshirts.  It's not something you see everyday over here!  They're both Jumping Beans brand from Kohl's.  Teddy is wearing Cherokee jeans and Tillie's are from The Children's place.  Both pairs of jeans are from garage sales.

Gingham and Plaid

Tillie's wearing her Strawberry Farm gingham top with Jumping Bean bermudas today.  The strawberry clip is by My Little Pixies.  She later added her strawberry Tevas.  It's a theme, you see.

Teddy is wearing an Okedoke romper with a nautical theme.  I have no idea where this brand is sold.  I got it at a garage sale last summer.  All of the clothes were a quarter each, or 5 for a $1.  I managed to find 10 things for a steal of a deal.  Some were for if I had a girl and some boy.  I don't even remember what all of the items were except for a girl pair of Gymboree denim overalls and a white Circo sunhat.

Unexpected Match

I bought Teddy these Jumping Beans shorts at a garage sale for 50¢.  I didn't have anything to match them, but by laundry "miracle" it was next to this Mini-Boden tee.  The blues aren't a perfect match, but it worked well in real life.  I liked how the yellow hippo picked up on the yellow stripe in the plaid.  It's just too bad that this shirt is 0-3m and the shorts are 6-9m.  The shorts are a little big, so I had to layer a Carter's bodysuit underneath just to add some bulk.

Christmas Tree and Snow

There was traces of snow left on the ground this morning.  We're also getting our Christmas tree tonight so I thought it was a good day for Teddy to wear his reindeer tee.  It's Jumping Beans brand, and is size 3m.  I'd say it runs a little big.  He's wearing it with his Gymboree Little Copter cords -- they go with so much!  He wears them all the time.  They're lined, so I love that they're nice and comfy for him.
