It will be fun to see if this new baby of Jamie and Josh's continues the trend of sisters or if a boy finally makes his entrance.

I try to keep up with editing my pictures throughout the year and then at the end of the year I put the book together (I used to work on it month by month as the year progressed but now I am always behind and start working on it at the end of the year - ha!) I just finished editing some of these pictures from our visit from Lillie and Lola's little "sister-cousin", Everly and even though they were taken almost two months ago figured I would share a few of them today. It rained pretty much every single day during the week they were here visiting so we didn't get many pictures but we did try to take a few during the last afternoon they were here while we were down in Colonial Williamsburg. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

My sister, Jamie, created the most beautiful party for her. She went with a "Penny Candy Store" theme. I have to say the awnings she made were incredible! They were not very easy to make though, and I am pretty sure she almost gave up on them but I am so glad she was able to pull them off because I think they absolutely made the biggest statement and loved how they turned out. Lillie and Lola loved the set-up.
