Sometimes We Wear Matching Clothes

Before Emma was even born I bought some things for us all to wear to be matchy matchy at Christmas.  I don't usually do that, so I don't know what I was thinking.  I bought Emma a size 0 to 3 dress.  That was before I realized she would be so tiny (she is still in newborn sized clothes), but the dress kind of fit.  Maybe a little big.  I had bought her some little shoes, but they were way too big for her.  She couldn't even fill out her tights (Scott said they were "looses").  And I'm not a big hair bow person, but I found one for Emma that I didn't think was too girly.

Here are Anna and Emma in their sort of matching dresses.  They both looked so cute.

 And all the girls together

This was sort of in the middle of getting ready for church
Matthew took the picture for us
Emma's dress was lace all over and Anna and I had lace on just the bodice of the dress.

Everyone (minus me).  The boys all had matching ties.  And I realize you can't see Scott's tie, but he had one too.  Getting John and Grant to wear church clothes can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, so I was just happy to get them in the ties at all.  You can see John's socks don't match.  I'm not ashamed.

 And I swapped out with Scott

And all the girls again.   I think Scott took this.  Anna always wants to hold Emma.

Here's Emma after church.  She was a little fussy at church and Scott ended up carrying her around a lot.  But he got lots of compliments on her cuteness.  When she got home she was ready to get out of her cute clothes though.

And here's a special bonus photo

Emma with a huge flower on her head.  Like I said, I'm not a big bow person and my friend, who is a professional photographer, offered to take some pictures of Emma for free.  I just let her do whatever as far as props and she took a few huge flower photos for me.  I like the w/o flower pics better, so this may be the girliest you ever see Emma as a baby.  :)  She looks cute.
