Chicago Cutie-pies…

These two beauties are my nieces.  Not biologically related, but almost as dear to me as my own children.  Part of our trip to Chicago included staying with them… They are 5 1/2 year old twins (yes, my best friend also has twins)– and the most beautiful girls.  They are so sweet to my kids and they put up with my camera in their face for a whole week.  Here is just a glimpse of what I captured… I can’t wait to show their Mama them all (although, with how busy I am… not sure that will be anytime soon!)

ENJOY:

Their Mama is SUPER hip…. and dresses them like the urban-goddesses that they are… so this picture is just perfect to me:

This face was because Mama wanted a few pictures without her headband on…. how can you resist those lips???

And finally… the whole family.  The funny part of this picture is that at 6pm we decided to run down to the lake and take some family shots… This took a LOT of effort– we had to get clean, changed, fed and then load 4 kids in the car, plus 3 adults and rush downtown.  We got there and it was AT LEAST 20 degrees colder– and extremely windy.  We suffered through some pics… and managed to get some keepers, but it wasn’t ideal.  The very first picture I posted is from that mini-session… and so is this family shot.  See where the girls get their good looks?
