I opened the package and ooh'ed and ahh'ed at the cuteness...and promptly gasped at how much they surely cost. (I tend to be more of a Target kind of gal.)
The sweaters, size 3T, were a bit big on the girls that first year. We wore them a time or two, but the sleeves were rolled up, and we had some extra length in the torso.
Last year I made pictures of the girls in these sweaters, marveling at that being their FOURTH season to wear them.
I am beyond amazed we've now made it FIVE SEASONS. The sleeve length is borderline, particularly for my A, but these sweaters have truly stood the test of time.
[For the record, I have no idea if my A has *always* worn the blue, and B, the pink. I guess that's my next task...to comb through pictures from 2013, 2014, and 2015 to nail that down. HA!]
And...depending on growth spurts, my B has the potential to record another year next year!!!
I dare say these sweaters were an incredible investment...and -- although we still love our Tar-jay -- I don't know that our store brand duds have near the longevity.
Wow!!!

I was in no way compensated by LL Bean for this post...just sharing our amazing experience...and marveling at how different -- yet same -- my BABIES are.
