Merry Christmas!

Josh has been waiting for this moment since I was pregnant with Grayson. 

 We bought this cute little red sweater, in size 18 months, on clearance at Gymboree about 2 years ago.  It matched a sweater we already had and used at a tacky Christmas sweater party.  We couldn't resist.  Josh wanted to be able to wear the matching sweaters with his son.


And they finally can!  Happy day. :)


Merry Christmas from our lil' family to you and yours!  



I'm going to be taking a little bloggy break.
I'll be back after lots of Florida family time and the Christmas festivities have been properly soaked in.
Yes.  I am in Florida for Christmas.  You may proceed being jelaous. ;)



P.S.  There are only 2 more days to enter my giveaway!  I'll announce the winner sometime next week.

WIWW #4 {Shabby Apple Edition}

It's been awhile since my last outfit post but I'm excited to share this one with you!  I know it's not Wednesday.  I had everything planned out perfectly to post this on Wednesday.  But then my pictures disappeared.  I had my photographer {aka sister} take pictures outside for me.  Big step up from the ones I take in the bathroom {although, there is still one of those}.  There was great weather and light.  I uploaded them to my computer, deleted them off my camera like always, and when I went to look at them, they were ALL completely black!  Ughhh!  I was super bummed. 

So we took pictures again today {when it was freezing} and now I can post my What I Wore Wednesday- Shabby Apple Edition!  Don't forget to enter my Shabby Apple giveaway!  It ends Saturday {the 24th} at midnight.

This first one is what I wore this past Sunday to church.  And I obviously took them myself.
 I love love love the giraffe print, so fun!
 I love this dress.  I promise it looks way better than these crappy pictures show, haha.

Here is a pic from their site to show you!

This was my first and probably favorite Shabby Apple dress.

I love the colors and the stripes and the fit.  It's great!

I've worn this to church and to a wedding this past summer.

Finally, dress #3.  Comfy and classic.  The top part is jersey knit, so super comfy and fits well.

It has pockets too!
The cut of this one is really similar to the first except this has an A-line on the bottom.  The first was a pencil skirt. {except in a dress}

So what do you think of Shabby Apple?  Have any of their dresses? I want way too many... :)

They can seem a little pricey, but I've never been disappointed.  Plus, I've always used some sort of discount code to get a % off or free shipping or both one time!   {You can use mommydiaries10 for 10% off now} And you have to remember it's all-in-one.  No buying a skirt, top, and cardigan or what have you.  By the time you put that all together it adds up.  That's another reason I love dresses.  One thing and you're done planning your outfit; simple and easy!

I'll be linking this up to The Pleated Poppy for What I Wore Wednesday and Real Momma Real Style!
