Joy on the front porch!!!

Who has the greatest niece in the world?? ME of course. Actually I have a lot of great nieces and nephews but one in particular has a daughter exactly one year older than mine and that equals great hand-me-downs! We seem to always see each other in June for a wedding and she hands off a large box of goodies to me. This year we did have a wedding (in April) but they couldn't make it so FedEx did the hand off for her!

This was the box that was on our doorstep and as you can see...Annslee liked it and from the looks of her needed some new clothes!



Mama liked what was inside and believe me, this photo does not do justice to the amount of clothes and shoes we received.


I am sad to say the last time we saw them was last June (they live in Florida) and we wish Annslee, Hannah and Abby could see each other more....fun cousin time!

Here is my niece and her hubby at the wedding last year. This photo was taken after hours of dancing so Annslee was getting pretty tired but still wanted to be at the party



Here is Annslee with Abby...the most recent "wearer" of the clothes. This picture was at the rehearsal dinner as they were enjoying some crabcakes


Annslee and Hannah had a blast together all weekend. When we left on Sunday Hannah cried and said she wish we lived in Florida too ; )


I had to add this one in since Annslee isn't smiling in any of the others..as you can tell she had a BLAST at the reception. We had to drag the girls off the dance floor for dinner and then they were back out there!




Finally, here is Annslee sporting her new flip flops and cover up from her cousins' stash. She is so excited because now she has shoes like Mama!

First, I laughed SO hard at your comment on my post- perfection...

And WOW those are some AWESOME hand-me-downs! My sis collected 3 binfuls for me and I am so happy- hope I one day get to put them to good use! Love the pics, as always. Annslee is so darn cute.
And I hope you come to Florida to visit again- would love to meet you guys!

Yes, Hand-Me-Downs are great! The funny thing is - I am now seeing the cute outfits I bought my niece a couple of years ago. Dang, I bought some cute outfits - ha!

Oh, boy! It's like Christmas in the summertime! Looks like Annslee really racks up each year.

Great pictures, too. It's always a joy to look at photos of Annslee.

Leave it to you to take a picture:) We have so many hand-me downs in our family--three older nieces and a neighbor who are constantly providing us with clothes for JiaLi--WE LOVE IT!! She has so many gorgeous clothes. Love the last picture showing off her new things:) Annslee is just growing so much!

Love the picture of Annslee in the box, I can't believe how much of a baby she was just a year ago (you sure do forget huh?). Pretty soon you will be chasing around 2 little girls...can't wait to see that news posted!
