Mom, are my boots here yet???

This year for Christmas, the girls chose really lovely dresses from Hanna Andersson. They are great dresses. They coordinate with each other, but don't match. Each girl gets to be her own person. O even wanted her hair with the little braid like the blonde in the photo. How sweet!

I had already bought these great boots for O when they were on clearance at Gymboree. I decided that the dress and the boots needed to meet...and so a fabulous Christmas ensemble was born.

But wait...I have TWIN girls. Now L needed the same boots! Off the Ebay I go. I won a pair of the boots in her size and I waited. And waited. And waited. I emailed the seller and she had sent them the day after the auction ended. Then I check with the USPS on line. It said "dead mail." WHAT IS DEAD MAIL??!! It turns out that something must have gone terribly wrong with the package. I believe the boots became separated from the box. The horror! Now Christmas is almost here and poor L has nothing for her pretty little feet!

To be continued...
