Hi Carolyn, I haven't been able to find a DVD of Undercover Christmas. I do know, however, that it will be airing on Christmas Eve. If I find a copy for sale somewhere I'll let you know.

Dolly - I'm a little late in responding, hopefully not too late (insert White Rabbit jokes and puns here). I'm not sure if there is a specific pattern for this particular coat. Vogue has some fabulous patterns for fitted coats similar to these. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi Shanell, Yes, I cut out eye holes after I took the pictures. Since we live so far apart I "borrowed" my cousin's kid to get the measurements to cut out the holes. Boo Boo really loved that costume. Thanks for commenting! Melissa

Hello all thanks for stopping by. The nest was just built, right outside my bedroom window, the robins do it every year. @Melissa E -Thanks, I couldn't bring myself to put on boots, not this late in April :). I woke up to about five to six inches of snow but by the time I got home it was pretty much gone...that's why I decided to take the last picture. That one spot was especially bright and sunny. I can't wait to see all the other days!
