Church clothes

I love getting the kids all dressed up for church. There is just something special to me about putting on your best clothes to go each week, and I'm glad that our church hasn't done away with the tradition of dressing up as so many other churches have. I am not judging against casual churches, and I know that many people like the "come as you are" approach. I don't think there is anything wrong with that at all. It's just that I personally love the tradition of getting dressed up for worship. It adds a specialness to the experience in my mind. Maybe that's because I'm a clothes person? ;)

Anna's dress is from Beary Basics that I ordered off of Zulily during our long wait to bring her home. I added a pink tutu skirt underneath to add some fullness to it. Her giant hairbow is a favorite of mine, but it's a little much for some tastes, as it is literally as big as the top of her head. ;)

Henry is wearing an outfit from Crazy 8 that I had to buy as soon as I saw it, despite it being full price. I later went back two times to get price adjustments during a sale and with their coupon, so it ended up being very affordable. The pants and hat are blue/white seersucker, which I LOVE for spring. I just added one of their navy polos on top.

They are both wearing Stephen Joseph backpacks embroidered with their names (a sweet gift from their aunt). They take those backpacks to church every Sunday to put their artwork and papers in.
You can't really see their shoes, but Anna is wearing her white Kenneth Cole dress shoes, and Henry is wearing his Sperry Topsiders.
