Every year I buy the girls dresses for Christmas and Easter. Crazy you might say. Consider though that I only buy them dresses twice a year, Christmas and Easter. So really it's not too out of control. Mike's parents give us money every year to buy the girls presents so actually this is one of the presents they get from their Grandpa Jake and Grandma Kitty. So thank you to them!!
I gave up a while after Monica was born trying to get the dresses to match. So Megan, Karly, and Monica (when she was younger) had a lot of matching dresses. The logistics are crazy to try to get size 16 to 24 months to match. So to save my sanity and at Mike's suggestion, I gave up matching. Plus Megan is old enough that she doesn't want to match her younger sisters exactly and she has her own idea of what she wants. So now to make myself feel better we have a color "theme" every year (Megan is agreeable to this). Last year was creme. All the girls had creme as the main color on their dress. This year the "theme" color is red (or with Katelyn's dress as close as we could get it). But let me tall ya, it is hard to find 5 dresses that are not sleeveless. Why stores carry sleeveless holiday dresses in UTAH during the WINTER is beyond me. Sorry, it just doesn't make much sense to me. Megan and Katelyn still wear sweaters over theirs to keep warm in the church building.
Megan and Mikayla(Mikayla got her picture taken before Megan and didn't want to vacate the area.)
Karly
She hates the flash from the camera so she looks to the side. Crazy girl!
Monica
She loves the fur cuffs on the jacket of her dress.
Katelyn
I love her dress. I picked hers out first. Okay, it's not "red" but it goes well enough.
Mikayla
Her new nickname is "cheese-ball." She loves getting her picture taken.

Hi Kathy, Don't know if you remember me. I'm Sherry's older sister. WE were in your Clearfield ward yrs ago. Just wanted to tell you the girls are so cute and so are their dresses. I used to do the same thing with Christmas and Easter until they got bigger and won't have it, plus since Stephanie is at BYU and Chelsea doesn't wear cutsie (SP) ones and Ryder is a boy. I fight with him to wear a vest, but he does like ties. He has a whole 2 since he deconstructs them during Primary when we aren't looking. Fun Fun!!
Keep in touch. I like your blog. Very pretty and funny!

Hope your New Year was Great!!
Very cute! I love all their pictures. I don't spend too much time on dress buying anymore becuse she is so picky and HATES dresses. I still do and make her deal with it. The one I bought this year she says is ugly and that she looks ugly IN it. But that's what I do...I buy ugly dresses just to make her look ugly. I can't wait until she has kids. =D
Hmmm...are you the mother of 5 girls??? I am sooo jealous I would love to buy 5 cute little dresses. They all look too ADORABLE!!!
