in 2003, my sister made the cutest costumes for her girls. They were the three fairies from Sleeping Beauty, Flora, Fauna and Merriweather. Last winter, when we were visiting, my little sweetheart was the happy recipient of the (albeit rather worn) Merriweather costume. This morning mommy repaired the skirt and my little girl spent the whole rest of her day until nap time dancing in the living room and twirling in her new "princess dress". Of course, her little brother couldn't help but join in and even the dog got extra loving. Even though we're at the beginning of a nasty snowstorm outside, I always have Merry-weather with my little sweeties around me.
