Amelia's Hawaiian Dress

Ginny brought a beautiful dress back from Hawaii for Amelia a LONG time ago, and it finally fits (almost)! And, yes, that is our Christmas tree in the background. We like to get it up nice and early, and in our defense, we'll be out of town for Thanksgiving and we want it to be up when we get home. It is so awesome to have it up, and the kids have such a great time with the ornaments. Colin has been standing up on his own and taking steps around the tree to see everything, and also to yank down and throw anything he can get his hands on. I'm not complaining, though, anything that gets that kid to walk is a good thing!

Also, Amelia's hair is getting really BIG. When it's wet, it goes down well past her shoulder, but it fluffs up to a huge pile on her head when it's dry. I don't think these pictures really do it justice. A little hair clip in the front is hardly keeping it contained anymore!

I wonder if she would sit through having her hair straightened with your straightener just to see what it would look like? It probably wouldn't be worth it, but it might be kind of fun!

She is so great. And I LOVE her hair! Unfortunately, I don't think any of our kids will get curly hair, darn it!
I hope we get our tree up at all this year! I might just have to come over an enjoy yours!

ok, I know I'm going comment crazy, but we put our christmas tree up early too! Christmas needs to be savored for as long as possible. And you can't really get away with leaving the tree up after the holidays, because then you're considered lazy and maybe even a little ghetto (if it stays up for a LONG time). So going it early is the best bet! I'm with you. I love it...its just so cozy.

I completely agree. My house looks best when it wears its Christmas outfit! It makes me happy!
