a christmas secret … shhhhh!

Special note … If you know these precious grand kids and/or families … do not tell their boppy and mormor. These are for a surprise Christmas gift … I got permission to post them … and I’m so happy because they are so cute!  Mormor … if you happen to find my blog … stop reading right now … 

This little group is two sisters and two brothers … all cousins and part of a sweet sweet family.

Kristin and I have known each other since college, but we didn’t really know each other in college. We just knew OF each other. I think I was a freshman when she was a senior … I hitched a ride home with her for Thanksgiving or Christmas … I don’t remember but I remember thinking she was so pretty, and I was intimidated.

Then, would you believe, we ended up having the same exact wedding dress? We still only knew OF each other. We didn’t know we had the same dress until after we became friends. Which … happened after we both had our first child – one day apart. So funny! And we still only knew OF each other at that point. It wasn’t until our kids were about 6 months that we started having play-dates and park dates … and the rest is history. She is one of my nearest and dearest most treasured friends – Kristin it’s been over nine years!!! Cool. Anyway, back to her beautiful girls and nephews …

Small child … must bribe …

Must . get . those . toes! I’m totally drawn to this …

This is the sort of thing that happens behind the camera in order to get the giggles and smiles – Donald Duck voice helps too!

This family … so beautiful. I love them! Working on these pictures makes me smile at our history and I love that Kristin and I can always pick up where we left off. What a treasure.

Kristin is one of those beautiful people both inside and out but she doesn’t know it. She made me promise to be very discerning regarding what pictures I posted but she is just so … Gorgeous.

Her sweet hubby had special requests for a picture of he and his lovely wife as well as one with all three of his favorite girls. See Kristin … you’re so loved! And I didn’t want to walk out without having some taken of Nia and her boys. She wasn’t expecting it from the session, but look … what a treasure!!

 

That hour was so much fun. Nia I’m so glad you were able to make it with your boys. You guys have quite a treasure trove coming coming your way!! This is just a drop in the bucket. Love you!
