Playing dress up

Last September, the girls were flower girls at Uncle Chris and Aunt Kate's wedding.  The dresses were gorgeous but they were almost totally destroyed by the end of the wedding and reception so we decided to get the most out of what remained by letting the kids use them to play dress-up.   

Even when you accessorize with sweet dirty faces, pirate hats and green scaly dragon feet, you just can't hide the fact that these dresses are almost as beautiful as the little girls playing in them.

We played on the swings, chased the frisbee, and ran all over the yard for nearly an hour before returning to the playroom for juicy red popsicles. 

Can you believe we actually ate popsicles in these spectacular white dresses?!    We weren't even trying to be neat but nobody dripped even a single drop so the dresses have survived to see yet another dress up day!
