Simply irresistible

Our friends and family have been incredibly good to us and have given us oodles of baby clothes, both new and second-hand. To say that the people in our lives have been "generous" is an understatement. Emma has enough clothing -- adorable clothing, at that -- to last her until she's at least a year old. She really doesn't need one stitch more. That being said, it's a mom's prerogative to pick out a new holiday dress (or two) for her daughter, correct? Besides, there's just too much cute stuff out there; it's impossible to resist.

I saw this dress online a few weeks ago and held off for as long as I could. I told myself that if I waited long enough and still couldn't get the dress out of my mind, then ..... I'd ask my mom (Grammie) to buy it for Emma for Christmas. Ha! I know Emma doesn't need it, but it's just to darn cute to pass up. And I also know that unlike Andrew, my mom just can't say no. Plus, my mom has experienced (twice) the uncontrollable urge to dress little girls up in the cutest, most perfect outfits possible. She understands.

Anyway, isn't it beyond cute?

And who could possibly resist the matching snowflake tights with red ruffles on the butt?

Hey Andrew, I'm not proud that I asked Mom to buy the dress. But at least I didn't charge it! Thanks, Mom!
