The one thing I have learned more than anything is that there is nothing better than family...especially when it involves 2 yr old birthday parties with jump jumps! Not only did I get the chance to spend the afternoon with some adorable children I got to take some pictures of an amazing family!


















































































There's nothing like opening presents when you are 2 years old! Only because you are more excited about the wrapping paper and boxes than you are about the actual presents! Good thing Maddie had her big sister there to really enjoy all of the toys!























We then went over to the park the next morning to take some more pictures of this adorable family!





















This is one of my favorite pictures! Here is Maddie posing for a picture and Lexi coming to tackle her after her dad told her to!

Another Amazing Wedding!

It is something special to see one of your best friends marry the man of her dreams, especially when you have a front row seat! I had the honor of being in one of my best friends wedding last weekend and it was beyond beautiful! Not only did she make an elegant bride, the entire wedding was a memorable celebration! We even got to celebrate the engagement of another friend of ours!!! Love is definitely in the air!















































How beautiful is the bride and her amazing bridesmaids??? Doesn't get much better!











































And here is a picture of the adorable newly engaged couple! How cute are they????? She even caught the bouquet I mean how perfect is that?

Windy City

For some reason every time I go to Chicago the weather is absolutely amazing and my husband always becomes convinced that we could move there! I try and tell him that this is just luck and that the minus 10 degree winters would change his mind, however by looking at the pictures you will see just how amazing everything was.









We went out on a boat which took you through the river downtown and then out to the lake to get one of the best views of the city.



















This was actually the building that my grandpa worked on as an iron worker. Considering so many of the buildings have been knocked down and built up again this was pretty special to see.
