Aunt Em Turns 9

Not so long ago, a young girl met a young boy and they fell in love... fast forward a few years, and that couple has a son who heads off to college. Soon, college boy meets college girl, and they fall in love. College boy takes college girl to meet his family, and college boy has a baby sister. College girl falls in love with baby sister too, she's only 4 months old when they first meet. Fast forward again. Baby sister has turned 9 and college boy and college girl have 2 kids who were invited to the party. Here's how it all went down. . .

Grandpa Larry took Libby for a spin in his oh-so-fast car.

the girls drank plenty of blue slushie. libby and xander and i did not.

xander met little josh, who is actually big josh, who was born the same day as xander.

xander stayed up way past his bedtime, but was a real trooper. grandpa larry kept him happy.
