pinkalicious

we recently spent a wonderful weekend with our family in spokane/newport. i was oh so happy to get to spend the day here:

i LOVE the shanty. it's without a doubt my favorite store ever. but i love its owner, my sister-friend maggie, even more. she was hosting "who let the girls out," which has become a twice-a-year shopping event in her hometown of newport. it's always so fun to be a part of these events with her. the ENTIRE town gets involved and shows so much support for their local shops. and her store always looks amazingly festive, has the most wonderful gifts and serves the most delectable food and drinks. i'm so proud of her.

then, when we got back to the house, i saw this:

a pinkalicious party in honor of baby girl marvel, complete with pink napkins, pink presents tied with pink bows and sugar cookies with pink frosting. we also dined on a family favorite meal - dede's spaghetti. YUM.

the kids are so adorable together. i love how caden and norah take such good care of caleb. they are the sweetest.

thank you, marvels and christies. we love you!
