111. Actually she probably ordered them online

So many kids clothing places online and they normally aren't sold out of sizes like in a store. There are plenty of message boards dedicated to children's clothing and sales/swaps, etc. You can get info on great sales too...If I was rich and could afford the shipping I'd order everything online I think...

I have 4 kids of the same sex myself and I always dressed them alike for Christmas pictures when they were small. I never had a sister and wanted one so we could dress alike (like my cousins) so when I had my girls I dressed them alike for special occasions until the oldest grew out of children's sizes. They never minded at all - because I DID ask them, lol, so hopefully mine aren't scarred. It was so cute, I thought. I hope no one thought we were all creepy, I never even thought of that, actually!
