Little elves

This outfit has always reminded me of something that little elves might wear.  Emma received it (and the matching doll) for her first birthday.

It was an immediate favorite!  By the time she was three she had really outgrown the outfit and was quite sad.  Lucky for her, Mom found that they were still being sold and bought the biggest size she could!

She passed the smaller one down to Samuel, and when he was 18 months old we surprised Daddy with pictures of them together in their matching outfits.

Now, Lucas has inherited the smaller outfit.

For months now Emma has been waiting for me to take her for more matching pictures... this time with Lucas!  I wanted to wait until the same time of year as she and Samuel, though Lucas is a few months older than Samuel was.  They both enjoyed the photo shoot and we picked two poses to buy, but there were many cute ones:
