4th day of Christmas

On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me a new Nephew, Cole Matthew Tripp. Born on Saturday, November 27, 2010.

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Cole

Today I hosted a baby shower for my sister-in-law Emily, her husband Brandon (Mr. Tripp's younger brother) and my nephew to be Cole Matthew. It was a wonderful shower. Emily and Brandon made out like bandits, really I have never seen so many gifts. The food was yummy and the desserts, well they were delightful. I'm calling the theme modern harvest. I decorated in deep chocolate browns and burt orange with lots of gourds, pumpkins and leafs.
