Here is a sneak peek of Lillabel’s first birthday party. We are having it in two parts. We were hoping to have it while everyone was here but due to games, and everyones schedules we had part of it last night once Jon got home and will have the rest on Sunday evening.

Hello everyone! We all hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Everyone arrived late Tuesday evening and we had a fun-filled day on Wednesday which ended with a big William and Mary basketball game. We beat Hampton by one point! That’s three wins in a row! YAY!!!! Then we had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday!

This Saturday Dana and I were at the antique mall hunting for a mantel for her place (which we did find!) and lo and behold this adorable vintage style toy car was sitting on one of the booths! We practically squealed with delight.

So about a year ago I was contacted about having two of my rooms featured on Design Dazzle – Lillian Annabel’s nursery and our guest bedroom. I gave them the info and sent my very amature photos and forgot all about it. This morning I received an e-mail saying I was one of ten finalists in their baby nursery contest!

It was a little nerve-wracking going this dark on the walls, but I LOVE it and am so glad we decided to go with this color. I think Jon had a panic attack, though, when we first started rolling it on! =)
