When Christmas gifts are carefully selected, they can become long-term favorites and may even pass down through the family from child to child over the years.
For example, a couple of years ago, Janae found a set of high-heeled princess dress-up shoes under the tree.
Alaina at the time, looked like this:
She wasn't interested in shoes, princesses, or even presents. (She was pretty stunned by the tree, though.)
Anyway, Janae played with the shoes all the time, matching them up with her princess dresses and then keeping them together in a special organizing case.
Our house was 95 percent carpet.
Fast forward to present times.
As you know, we moved. You may not realize, though, that our carpet square footage has decreased significantly. You would certainly realize this, however, if the girls were playing dress-up.
Alaina, particularly, has discovered the high-heeled shoes.
She wears them all the time, during all of her various princess errands, including walking the cat,
walking the dog (or . . . donkey?),
and refusing to put on pajamas.
Have you ever noticed how noisy high heels are on hard floors?
Maybe Santa will have to bring us some area rugs. They may also prove to be of lasting value. . . .

I have to say, we never had that problem with plastic high heel shoes in that house! Plenty of noisy trucks, though. Did you find a suitable home for the litter box?
My kids love to put slippers on and slide all over our floors! I prefer carpet...even though the majority of my house is hardwood. Your floors are gorgeous though:)
Rachel--I can't imagine any of your boys running around in high heels :) We ended up putting the litter box in the broom closet; it seems to be working well!
Anita--I think I will suggest slippers and see what the girls think!
I noticed in the pictures that Alaina had the same shoes on. Was that by choice or were they the only pair that Janae would let her wear?
