So Sweet

How darling are my two kids?  I mean, seriously!

I, along with two friends, ordered Tillie's dress wholesale.  It was a group of dresses that we split among our daughters.  All for the price of $11.50 each!  It has a soft knit cotton lining and the tulle isn't scratchy.  Tillie loves it.  Teddy's longalls are Mud Pie that I found at Goodwill.  He's kind of fond of the alligator.

Christmas Eve Party!

I got Tillie this Gymboree Cozy Cutie fleece skirt this summer for under $2.  It's a size 4 and I have a matching size 4 shirt to go with it.  This fall I found this caroling girl Cozy Cutie shirt in size 3 for under $2.  Awesomely, the skirt fit her well enough now to wear it already.  We added some black crewcuts leggings for extra warmth.

Yes, Teddy is still in pajamas.  We did get him in a Christmas-y outfit before we left for the party.

Card Outfits, Again

Today for church my kids wore the outfits I had them wear for our annual Christmas card pictures.  I'm in love with the red, navy, gold color combo for Christmas this year.  The last few years have been a lot of red and black, so this was a nice change.

I fell in love with Teddy's outfit last August.  The lobster bodysuit and gold cords are from the Gap Maine line and his sweater is from the Tea Collection, his shoes See Kai Run.  Couldn't you just eat him up?  He looked just as cute today, with slightly shorter hair.

For the pictures, Tillie wore and Old Navy velvet dress(clearance 2 years ago), crewcuts ivory tee and striped sparkle tights and silver Circo sparkles shoes.  The shoes are too big, but I didn't want her to wear black since every one else was wearing navy.  Today black shoes were okay and since I was changing that I decided to pull out some striped TrumpetteToo tights and a white Old Navy tee instead.  She declared herself to be a Christmas elf.

Reindeer!

I'm a sucker for reindeer fair isle styles.  I didn't find one quite what I wanted for Teddy in a price I wanted to pay, but I got this Gymboree Holiday Traditions cardigan on sale last winter.  Thankfully, it's a Gymboree sweater that doesn't run so large as most of them do.  He's wearing it with a black and white gingham shirt from The Children's Place(Let's ignore the fact that it's size 6-9m.) and Gap Naval Academy chinos.  He's wearing Circo dino slip-ons, but his black "dress" shoes should be here tomorrow!

Tillie is wearing a Crazy 9 reindeer jumper from two years ago.  It's a size 3, but she'll be able to wear it next year too.  I think it's running big.  The cream tissue tee is crewcuts and the tights are Gymboree.

We didn't go to church today because most of us were feeling a little under the weather, but I couldn't "waste" a Christmas season Sunday of cute matching outfits.

Christmas Monster

Tillie insists that Teddy's Gap I Want Candy thermal tee is scary.  She actually started crying when we pretended to "get her".  Drama, we have it.  He's wearing it with a Peek button-down, Gap Naval Academy jeans and Circo dino slip-ons.

Last week at Goodwill we found this crewcuts  red wool dress.  It's a size 2, but Tillie LOVED it.  She tried it on in the store and I'm pretty sure she insisted on wearing it the next day.  It's WAY too short as a jumper, but it looks marginally okay with crewcuts cropped leggings and a black H&M tee.  Her black patent leather Nordstrom ballet flats are from the Rack.

A Christmas Afternoon at the Gardens

It's finally time for Christmas outfits!  Today Teddy is wearing a Gap Maine sea gull body double and golden cords with his Livie & Luca elephant shoes.  Normally I would put his See Kai Run shoes with this outfit, but these are better for crawling, just in case he happened to go to nursery(ha!).  The hat totally doesn't fit right at all.  It's a 3-6m I got at a fundraiser last winter.  My kids seem to have normal head circumferences, but are more shallow than typical.  I have hats that fall on their eyes all the time.  This hat would be darling, if the brim didn't buckle so much.

Tillie's dress is the Rhapsody Tunic from Matilda Jane's winter line.  I only ordered it because I was also ordering the Birds of a Feather dress and I thought I'd be more likely to get one if I ordered something else.  I loved the Birds of a Feather dress from the first sneak peak, so ordering it for $15 was a no-brainer.  Except Matilda Jane can be ridiculous and of course it sold out in seconds.  Seriously.  The Rhapsody Tunic also sold out, so it's pretty impressive that my trunk keeper snagged it for me.  It is darling on Tillie.  The colors really suit her.  The sleeves(which Tillie insists on pushing up on all of her clothes) are too long, so next  year it should fit her like an actual tunic.  (It's a size 4.)  Tillie loves it and calls it her princess dress.  She insisted on putting her cream Circo tutu skirt under it.   She couldn't find the train in this picture, so she looks forlorn.
