“Should not have assumed 6 year old daughter, Isabella, would be ok with just wearing one of her dresses already in her closet for Easter. No, she desperately wants an Easter dress. I was just informed of this, 3 days before, preferably one with eggs on it.”

If you follow us on facebook, you may have read that status update.

Thought I’d follow up with the rest of the story…

I didn’t have time to order fabric, had nothing on hand, and just didn’t feel like shopping. Fortunately, I rediscovered an old dress of mine I had in my  closet.  I got it for a few bucks and wore it a couple of times only to decide I didn’t really like it on me after all.   I thought, however, that it would be perfect for Isabella.  It was actually an easy alteration. I adjusted the straps, took in the sides, chopped off the bottom,  sewed on the ruffle, and sighed a great sigh of relief!

Easter morning I woke up at 6 am to a crashing noise.  It was Isabella getting her dress down from high up in her closet. She was ready to see what the Easter bunny left for her in the living room, but didn’t want to begin her hunt without her dress on.  (who would?)

We had a great day filled with warm sunshine and a fun family gathering.

Isabella was so pleased and proud to wear her Easter dress, even without the eggs on it.
