Happy Monday! Today I have these super cute ladybug baby announcements to share. My friends Julie & Craig had their first baby, Evelyn, in November. A few weeks early, she was the perfect Christmas gift! Julie has decorated Evelyn's room with a pink & green ladybug theme, which I used as inspiration for her baby announcement. The hospital where Evelyn was born has a professional photographer who takes photos of babies all day long {how fun is that?} so they have beautiful newborn photos.
The announcements were letterpress printed in pink and sage green. The two photos were digitally printed & attached after printing. The envelopes were light pink.
Julie, her brother, Zach, my sister, Jess, & I have known each other our entire lives. Our mothers went to college together & have worked together for 30+ years & our fathers worked together for years. We have had an annual tradition of getting together the night before Christmas Eve. I went through my photos & found the oldest photo I could.
I am not entirely sure of our ages, but I would guess Zach is about 3, so I may be 10, Julie 9, & Jess 8. I wonder what my sweatshirt had on it? No doubt my braces were green & red.
Here we are this Christmas, 18 or so years later, with baby Evelyn!
So cute and special!!

My, how time flies, with all these memories! The lovely card is a great memento for this occasion. Btw, you said a funny bit about your braces; it's not really difficult to imagine since that would be seasonal!
