What a great job. Costumes are difficult. Now give yourself a big pat on
the back. I think we all tend to be very judgmental of our own work.
Take a good look at some of the commercial costumes out there and you'll
realize how very good yours are. I have never made anything that I
haven't said was terrible for some reason or another. It drives my DH
nuts when I do that. I feel that if I see a mistake it's out there for
the world to see.

They look all very pretty, and the kids seem to be perfectly happy with
them. Good job, even if you don't think it perfect.

Thanks to everyone for the generous comments. I wish I could have
gotten the kids to stand, or even to sit up straight for a picture, but
they were all freezing and it was hard enough to get them to take their
coats off.
