Playing dress up

No, we haven't gotten over excited about the fact that the high was below 70 degrees today. Although that was nice, bt the only thing I did special was dress Elena in long sleeves. My e-bay order came in and I thought I'd show off my bargain hunting skills, which are not those of some, but they'll do . . .

This is the sherpa hat bought on clearance last winter, the coat my mom got at a consignment store (okay not my shopping skills) and the snow boots I bought on e-bay. I also got some cheap toddler long undies at Wal-Mart (during the trip from HADES) but I chose not to photograph those.

And why pray tell, does our little Texan need all of this? I give you the next picture:

We're dreaming of a white Christmas - all goes well and it 'll be a ski vacation for us come late December. Woo hoo! (The bib was one of the first things my mom bought Laney, I was only about 3 months pregnant.)
