Welcome to the World...

...my little Aline.

Our sweet baby girl arrived December 12!  She is a 6 pound bundle of soft dark hair, velvety skin, and adorable faces!  I wish I could capture every single one of them!  Aevyn and William are in love with her (as are her daddy and I), and we're settling into life as 5 this Christmas season.

Oh, love!

Aevyn and Aline in their pink frilliness!

Welcome to the family, my sweet petite!  You are the perfect addition!

Sweet Shirts

Since my due date is Christmas Eve, I've been trying to do as much as I can each day to prepare!  You never know what the next one may bring!  

My mom wanted to buy our baby a coming home outfit, and she picked out the sweetest pink gown.  In Aevyn's words, it is "gorgeous"!  So, I thought I'd try to whip something up for Aevyn to match her baby sis.  

I had some pink linen fabric from a skirt that didn't fit right, so I ruffled a long strip and sewed them to a plain pink shirt.  Thank you, h&m, for keeping us well stocked with plain T's!

I used some of the linen, plus circles of tulle and satin to make the little rosettes.  Fold each circle in half twice and grab a bunch together.

I love how quick this project was!  I can't wait to see my girls together in all their pink frilliness!
