Sandra's House - make a singular noun possesive - add 's
Sandra Edwards's House - make a singular noun ending in s possessive - add 's
Sandra & Walter Edwardses' House - make a plural noun ending in s possessive - add es'
Further: The Graveses' children are super adorable. {My "es'" addition lets you, the reader, know that this sentence refers to two Graves - in this case, Eric & Lydia.) Corrections or comments will be MOST welcome!**
The annual bonfire at Sandra & Walter's is one of my favorite Fall activities. This sweet girl's Momma neglected to dress her appropriately though. Thankfully, someone volunteered their own child's hat.
Don't you just want to kiss this face?
*Could someone please correct my apostrophe use in the title, if needed?

I believe you still use an apostrophe then "s" if the name ends in an "s" when used in the singular. So if the name was W & S Edward, then it would be "the Edwards'" (make it plural then make possessive), but since it is W & S Edwards, I think it should be "the Edwards's" (already plural then make possessive). Or would you make Edwards plural as Edwardses then add the apostrophe? English is too confusing..... :-)
