Early Gift

My adorable husband thought that it would be a great idea to have our family portrait taken as an early Valentine's gift. We haven't had one since the girls were 1 and 3---and it was an insanely stressful, sweat producing event at the picture place!!!! Since we will be somewhere in the middle of the US by then, I agreed to this gift.
He found an old classmate that now does photography and she agreed on very short notice to take our pics. We met with her today in Fayetteville.
Uh, did I mention that she only shoots outside!! Yeah! The 4 of us, in 40 degree weather, for 40minutes did not make for an awesome afternoon!! (as you can imagine)
There was whining, runny noses, red noses and... our triple layers of clothing were no match for the wind today! It was a chilling afternoon:(
However, we cheered (& warmed) the girls up with some hot chocolate and pastries from a nearby coffee shop:)....mmmmm
Hopefully the pictures will not be too terrible?!
When we get them, we will be glad to share:) Anyway, thanks David for the great gift!
I love you!
