This Easter I decided to get my craft on and make us some fancy Easter clothes. The skirts were super easy, and I got to break in my "new" serger (love that thing- thanks, mom!). The ties were a bit of a different story. They turned out... well, small. Maybe I printed the patterns not-to-scale, maybe the patterns were not so bueno, or maybe my men are just long torso-ed. Either way, James' original tie got tossed, and Derek's became James' (cutting out only like 2-3 inches of material- ha). So Derek didn't actually get any new clothes for Easter, but he promised me he didn't mind (and quite frankly was probably relieved... PS he did get a new video game to make up for his loss, lol). It was fun getting us all dolled up and coordinating. Nothin' like a matchy family to make a holiday complete! ;)
Here are some fun pics- courtesy of the fabulous Aubrey S. of {be} posh photography. Thanks, Aub.
*Note: Obviously the Brown One isn't one of ours... she's just our hottie neighbor/friend! ;)

I envy your knack with a sewing machine. I'm scared to death of the things! Also- Jolie wearing all the cute necklaces.... too cute for words.
