 And I loved it. 

And Simon loved it. 

And Anna, well, she just loves anything to do with Simon. 

Christmas PJ's are next. 

And in case you are wondering, these shirts are by a company called Glug.

    Absolutely adorable! You are starting your day and I am finishing mine! About to go to bed it is 11.22pm here in Brisbane and I am just about to check on my little darling daughter nearly 10 months and go to bed. Her Dad comes home tomorrow from being away all week so that will be fantastic. Your children are adorable and I thoroughly enjoy your journey. Take Care.

    What an exciting adventure. Love the matching shirts. Anna is looking more and more like a Mini-Ali. And Simon’s eyes are so expressive. Very cute. Looking forward to seeing the matching xmas pj’s. I have many memories of those from my childhood.

    oh, to make that trip to Greece!!! I am hoping to be pretty late in my next pregnancy by then so I will pass on Greece, but I am working on the Italy trip!
    The kiddos look great in their matching shirts-it’s okay, we all have to give in to the urge and do the matching shirt thing sometime!

    This past Christmas I did the matching pajama thing with my girls and myself. They are 25, 23 and 21. I have to tell you it was the highlight of my Christmas and what great photos I have!!! I bought pajama pants for my husband too, although they did not match ours; will remember that Christmas Eve for a long time!

    You know, things like this always seem dorky until you have your own children or nieces and nephews! As an aunt, I love getting pictures of all the kids in matching outfits. Why does it make them so much more adorable?
    That blue is such a fantastic color. Almost the same color as the Grecian sea…

    Christine Drevo said…

    It is so obvious the love between brother and sister and they are just so adorable! It is so refreshing to witness a family so close I don’t think you see that too often now a days.
    Wish I could go on the Greece Scrapbook getaway! Please be sure to take lot’s of photo’s we’d love to see them!

    I love the matching shirts, but I especially love that second picture. As Christine mentioned earlier, their love of each other is so obvious. And as Hazel said, it’s amazing how much of Chris is in Simon and you in Anna. So beautiful.

    I love dressing my 3 sons up once in a while in matching shirts. I just did this few weeks ago for a portrait with them. We just got it back and it is my favorite picture yet.
    Simon and Anna look absolutely adorable in the pics.

    I love the matchy matchy. Last summer I had photos taken of my 8-year old son and neice in matching outfits. I figure that is about it for them and matching clothes! CWDKids has lots of matching outfits for little ones. Your 2 little ones are priceless:)

  • 35.

    The matching shirt thing really makes you focus on their faces; you aren’t distracted by the clothes. Cool!

    I love how cute Anna and Simon look in matching Shirts..I knew from following your blog that Simon loves being photographed, and now from the look on Anna’s face in photo3, I’m sure even she enjoys being photographed.
    You are so blessed to have such wonderful kids!

    It’s ok. That’s our perrogative as mothers to dress them as we wish since our bodies (and minds) were distorted for 9 months! I have moved away from the matching clothes to “coordinating” clothes but I do get matching Christmas pajamas if possible. They get to open them on Christmas Eve night for pictures on Christmas morning. Check Hannah Andersson or Gymboree for the cutest ones!

    I love doing the matching “thing” and with 3 daughters it is 3x’s the FUN!! Will do matching Christmas jammies too! My Mom buys them for the girls, I love that tradition and that their Gammy gets in on the fun, especially since we live so far away from one another :(
