What's wrong with this picture?

Halloween costumes are the perfect attire for trimming the Christmas tree...or for pretty much any occasion! Sarah loves to dress up, and her very favorite outfit is her Halloween costume...
My suggestion to take off the costume temporarily while we decorated the tree (and took photos) met with firm opposition. ;)

Here she is, on another day... I have the hardest time getting photos of our little firecracker-- she moves so fast I get lots of blurry shots, so Daddy is "baby wrangling" for this photo.
Ah, G*mboree... dangerous territory (read: "budget buster") for a mama who is relatively new to the world of cute girl clothes... there are just so many accessories (tights, shoes, hair bows, etc.) to consider and coordinate. A whole new world... in so many ways. :)

Merry Christmas....your tree looks great!

That is such a "China" girl. Always intent on what they want to do. I love it though. Gymboree is the "enemy" in our home ecspecially with 2 I luv to match.

Love the costume!!! I bet you have SO much fun shopping for her.

hahaha!...I LOVE this photo...what a GREAT shot! :) She will be giggling about this one day herself! It's so wonderful to see her home for over a year now, just blossoming and fitting so perfectly into your family. I can't wait to be in that same place!!

And I love the Panda outfit from Gymbo...amongst my faves!... I already purchased some of the same line for Khloe! It's so DANGEROUS in that store...UGH!!!!!!!! ;o)

Have a wonderful Christmas Season... you tree looks great! :)

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. Hudson and Annie are still fighting over the caterpillar and lion costumes.

Did you mention one of my favorite stores? Did you see their pink, fuzzy clogs?! Watch out!!

Girls are so fun! I'm on right now doing some shopping. BTW Gymboree clothes last forever! Very good quality.

I love the "seasonal" picture - hey, you're not going to get any more 'real" than that!!

Love Sarah Mei's gymbo-attire! Isn't it all adorable??

I have found you find cute girl stuff e-v-e-r-y where you go!
