all "smocked" up

At this age, and for several more years, I don't think there is anything much sweeter than a little girl in a smocked dress with a big bow in her hair. Yesterday, one of my students showed up with 14 smocked dresses that her mom wanted to sell. I gladly took 10 of them off of her hands. They are a little big for Makinley right now (most of them are size 6), but I think she will be able to wear them for two years. They were an AWESOME deal...for real. I couldn't pass them up. I actually held them up to Makinley last night, and some of them are several inches above her ankles. I thought they might be way past her feet, but that girl is tall. Aren't they beautiful?!

I can't wait. Now, I need to go make sure I have bows to match them all! Believe it or not, I know I need a red one!
