David isn't too opinionated on very many things, but he does insist that we buy the girls a new Easter dress and Christmas dress every year. We used to do the cute Christmas color dresses, but then I hated that I didn't feel I could put them in them after Christmas. So now, we just buy them a new dress. This year I really didn't know how we were going to be able to purchase them. Funds are beyond tight. I did however manage to work my magic and use the money from David donating plasma to get the dresses. It was such a relief for me but mostly for David. Its one of the things he hopes to do for the girls even after they are grown. We decided that we'd give them the new dresses for Kadences Christmas piano recital so they could feel super pretty. The problem was that I was at work and Shelby was at dance almost right up until we needed to leave for the recital. I was able to get Kadence ready before I went to work though which helped.
She needed to take the new dress for a spin
Shelby too needed to try out a few twirls
A few pictures after the recital (which showcased the fact I didn't put a coat on either of them during our first snowstorm of the season.)
This turned into throwing snow at each other
I forgot my coat too and didn't have time to change after work.
David also got a new dress for Christmas! He challenged his team at school during a food drive. If they won, he'd wear a dress all day at school. Well, he had a dress from a few years back, but couldn't find it in storage. He and Kadence went to the DI to find him a substitute. She kept telling him "If you're going for an old lady look, you're doing great!" Sure, it's a housecoat, but at least it doesn't button up the front I guess.
David also twirled for our elf, Tiny, to show him his new dress.
