Day 243 Picture Prep

Oh my is it a lot of work to get 5 individuals ready for family photos.  One of my least yet favorite thing to do.  It 's always a lot of searching on my end to find just what I am imagining in my head.  I usually end up buying hundreds of dollars of clothing, coordinating, returning things that didn't work and then finally narrowing it down to an outfit for each one.  LOTS OF CRAZY RUNNING!  But, I feel it's worth it in the end. 

Cute shoes that blend well with our outfits is always a must.  It's a great excuse for me to buy a new pair.  However, the boys and I ended up wearing the same ones we wore last year!!  In fact, Estelle didn't get a new pair either.  Wow, I was pretty resourceful here and we all wore ones we already had.  While assembling our outfits, I usually keep them on our bedroom floor so that I can look at them everyday.  Estelle, being the queen of fashion she is, loved trying every one's pieces on.
