Fall Pictures

We were so lucky to have my amazing friend Erin come to Naperville and stay with us. We had so much fun hanging out with friends, shopping, eating out, and catching up. While she was here she took our family pictures. We went to my families favorite spot, downtown Naperville, and had pictures done there. It was a bit of a challenge to keep Addy happy. There were people walking there dogs and running on the path. She kept getting so scared! She loves dogs but definitely only from afar. We are so lucky for how many amazing pictures she was able to get. Thanks again Erin!

                                             

Erin and I before one of our shopping sprees. 

One of the night s she was here a few of our friends got together for a girls night. We had dinner at

 P.F. Chang's and then came back to my house for dessert.

January 2012

We got our first big snow storm in January. My kids had so much fun playing in the snow! This was Benson's first time ever. He liked the snow but couldn't move well with all the gear on. He fell over a few times and I couldn't help but laugh! Addy and Benson both hated their gloves! Neither one of them would keep them on. We tried several different pairs between them both. Other than that, I think the afternoon in the snow was great!

Benson has a favorite spot on my couch.... the arm rest. I didn't allow it for so long, but I got tired of keeping him off of it all day long! The kids like to sit there together and watch a show. These pictures were after church one Sunday. So cute!

Just a cute picture of the kiddos playing with daddy. They fight over his attention as soon as he walks in the door from work every night. They always want him to throw them in the air, do flips off his legs, and give horse back rides.

This picture is of some of our friends at girls night in January. Angelique moved to Utah so we had a good bye party for her. I sure miss that girl!

Family Pictures 2011

My friend Erin came to Naperville for a visit and to do a bunch of photo shoots. We were so lucky to snag a spot with her. She always does such a great job! My kids were not really into having their pictures taken and it was really hot and hummid, but she was able to capture some great shots of my kids. We had so much fun hanging out together! We shopped a lot, had a girls night at my house with all our friends, and ate lots of yummy food. Thanks agian Erin! We miss you a ton!
