Every year since Elodie turned 1, my mom comes for a visit in March. And every year she comes with money from my PawPaw Whitney to "buy that girl an Easter dress." The funny thing is, it's always been $10. My PawPaw lived through the Great Depression so to him, $10 should be plenty. Sadly, these days $10 will pay for the taxes with a little bit leftover!
Regardless of the amount, it's the thought that counts, and since Elodie's first Easter we have made a huge deal out of PawPaw's Easter Dresses. We take pictures and send them to him and make sure to call with a thank you too.
This year was no exception. As soon as my mom got settled she told me PawPaw sent his traditional $10 for the girls Easter dresses. I had to laugh because now, with 2 girls, $10 for Easter dresses would ONLY cover the cost of taxes!!
The day after my mom came to town we were in Wal-Mart. We passed through the girls clothes and to our surprise found a bunch of their Spring Dresses on clearance for $5! And even more of a surprise was they had both girls sizes!!! You have to know that I hardly EVER buy a dress for one girl. If they don't have both sizes, even if I really like the dress, I don't get it. Some call it weird but I just like when my girls match for church.
So while these aren't the girls official Easter dresses, they were completely paid for by their Great PawPaw Whitney. And that, my friends, is a first!
