The Favorite Dress

Both the girls love to wear dresses and play dress up. This pink dress was sent to us by my Mom after my baby sister grew out of it. Since my baby sister is only two years older than my oldest daughter, it has worked out really well to get her hand-me-downs. We have so much fun going through the boxes they send!

This pink dress was one of Cayleigh's favorite dresses to wear. At first, we saved it for special occasions, then the lace at the bottom became torn, and there was a small hole on the back of the dress. Cayleigh continued to wear the dress until little sister decided that she wanted to wear it also. Keira loved it too. Both girls enjoyed dancing and swirling the skirt. They wore it fresh out of the dryer many times because I had to pry it off of them in order to clean it. They played in it, ate with it on, and also slept in this dress. We finally had to throw it away today. Keira was undressing herself for the bath and the fabric was so worn that it tore along the bodice seam. We were very sad to see it go.
