I struggled with this too. I picked out/shopped for DS's outfit first then picked ours out from there. We were pretty simple. He wore a plaid button-up, I wore a plain red sweater and DH wore a navy button-up. I was wanting to be more creative/stylish....but that didn't work out. Going for timeless.

I had to cancel our Christmas pictures, but I was going to do gray and coral.

I love ivory - I think it's not so Christmasy but works great for the holiday season.

I love sweater dresses on little girls - like this one: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=84667&vid=1&pid=297823002
Love this outfit too: http://www.gap.com/browse/outfit.do?cid=87257&oid=OUT-915147022

This sweater for you maybe: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=8998&vid=1&pid=245747002
paired with either black skinnies, dark wash jeans, black boots of bootie heels
Maybe a silver scarf?

For your DH: nice jeans, and maybe a grey sweater/vest, or ivory as well - but not if all of you are wearing ivory as well. That's too matchy

Dark-neutral theme: http://pinterest.com/pin/243757398552028846/

I saw something on Pintrest that I thought was a helpful guideline. It suggested limiting everyone's outfits to three main colors where one is a neutral (so like, navy, white, and mustard), and then picking a splash of color to accent things with (bright yellow, or red, or pink) - scarves, hairbows, etc..
