Christmas Clothes

I remember when I was litte my mom always used to make us wear skirts. I hated it. My twin, Jakobi, and I would put leggings on underneath and pull them up to our thighs, so that we could get on the bus and mom thought all we had on was our skirts, ha! We fooled her! And picture day was awful, we knew that we would have to wear a "button up" shirt. We actually did have sailor outfits, I believe that it was in the 2nd grade, complete with big red bow. So now that I am a mom and I have two adorable kids, I would totally buy a sailor's outfit, in fact I'd probably buy the matching cap too! So my kids have large amounts of clothes, thanks to yard sales, VERY generous relatives, and my need to buy stuff that is so on sale it's a shame to leave it on the rack. So really, they need nothing, no new clothes, maybe socks and a pair of shoes every now and then, but Paisley actually has tubs of clothes up in the attic outfitting her until she's 2. So why did I spend $35.oo on two matching outfits at Macy's? Why? I ask myself that same question, especially as I am fighting Beck to even put it on, then I set them up and I take their picture, or I take them somewhere to get their picture taken, and then I remember; because it's just so darn cute!
