Kevin's Bright Idea

Last year we bought the boys their first Christmas outfits from Pottery Barn Kids and had them monogrammed with their initials. I had looked high and low for the perfect outfit and when I saw these I was so happy. As silly as it might seem, I just adore these outfits. I have been trying to figure out how to save/preserve them, but what I really wanted was to enjoy them again as much as I did last year. They are too small for the boys to wear so that wasn't an option and to put them away in a box didn't sound right either.

Then Kevin had a great idea. He suggested buying teddy bears and dressing them in the outfits to sit under the tree every year. I LOVED it. So we did.
