the littlest one above, Emerie only 9 days old! Monday afternoon we had the Mariani girls and some friends over for a Christmas Grandmother-Mother-Daughter (baby/aunt/brother) Tea :) It's a tradition we've been doing for three years now (although the first year had a much bigger crowd and we've kinda whimped out and gotten smaller- the Mariani family fills the house!)
