Little red dresses

I had stopped at a walkway along the harbour to take pictures of the girls. While Matt was away I started sewing again. I had finished matching outfits for the girls and decided that they needed to have their pictures taken! I'm thinking these, or others taken in these dresses, will be our Christmas photo.

She's such a cutie.

Christmas dresses were always so much fun in the US, because they were just plain adorable. The velvets, the lace, the plaids. But it's summer here, during Christmas, so the dresses available in the US just aren't practical. So these are the official Christmas dresses this year.

The hearts just begged to be added...

I should have taken them out on a cloudy day, it wasn't good light that day. But they're cute, so it's okay!

I love this! It never occurred to me before, but since we have darkened side windows on our van, it's a really good reflection. As I was popping the girls back in their carseats, I saw an oppurtunity and took it. :) I like the way it turned out.

  3. Those are adorable dresses! (and girls!) My dad grew up in Papua New Guinea and Australia and always told us about how he'd go to the beach for Christmas. It sounds like fun for a change, but I think it would be weird all the time.

    Sorry I haven't commented for awhile and wanted you to know my schedule should be back to normal. I did not drop off the edge of the blogosphere.
