And we can’t forget about big sister Reagan!  What a cutie!  I was a little worried when she said she was TWO…but she did great!  :-) the whole family unit! And then the cake……!  I have never seen a kid completely SHRED their cake before!  haha!  He was having a great time!   When I was going through my pictures on the computer, my daughter walked in and kept saying over and over again, “He’s SOOOO CUTE!!”  Yes, he sure is! Then we cleaned up and went to a nearby park.  Lindsay’s parents - Jim & Jan – came along too!  They were a great help with the kids and thanks for carrying my “mystery box” for me Jim!  haha!  Thanks for coming guys!  It was so nice to meet the rest of the family too!  :-)

Love the b&w!  So non-traditional girl stuff = great!  The headband was made by yours truly.  :-) I made this headband too.  :-)   Hannah was so into the beads & “accessorizing”!  She’s definitely a girly girl!  She wouldn’t take her eyes off my goodies once she saw them!  Then we went downstairs and got a few studio shots. But the really fun part was the little tea party/birthday party we set up for Hannah in the woods!  Like I said in the previous post, mom thought of everything!  It was a blast!  :-) We knew once we got that cake out there would be no going back, so we tried to get in a few family photos… Hannah was getting pretty tired by then though so we moved on to the cake! People were going by on their bikes (since we were right off the Elm Creek Park trail) and everyone kept wishing Hannah a happy birthday!  It was cute!  Happy Birthday Hannah!  See you in November!  :-)

They are so cute together – and very natural in front of the camera!  Melissa brought this cute little cake and we let Carson go at it!  :-)  

{btw…table here was one of my fav finds of 2010!  I was at Urban Outfitters at the MOA and they were getting rid of some of their display tables – I scored this for $20!  I normally have it in Claire’s room since light blue is her fav color!} Happy Birthday Carson!!  Thanks for coming again guys!  :-)

The purple flowers are in full bloom!  LOVE them!  And purple is Dagney’s favorite color!  Too bad it was almost HIGH NOON when we were in the field of flowers (i.e. not the most flattering light to work with, but I did my best!) awww! Thanks for coming again guys!  Your family is adorable!  Happy Birthday Logan!

(btw….the cute little hat with the candle?  They donated it to my prop stash!  Thanks so much Sara!  It’s adorable!) mom & dad have similar photos to these with Grace & Tate, so they wanted to re-create it here.  Hopefully we suceeded!  :-) (aren’t they a BEAUTIFUL family?) this is my new frame from the antique store!  Shelley & I went antiquing a few weeks ago and I saw this and knew I needed to have it!  :-) Mr. Tate – he’s always SOOOOO good for his photos! And beautiful Grace!  Her name suits her perfectly!  :-)   (btw……this chair is from the antique store too!) I’m going to try to be less “wordy” in my posts cuz I feel like I am just babbling and saying the same thing over & over again.  But isn’t she gorgeous!  Here’s another take on the “hill” shot – taken with my lens baby w/ the f 8 “ring” in this time!  :-) We went to Anoka for some park-like photos.  :-) Thanks for coming again guys!  Your family is so great!  :-)

This was actually before the cake…Anders wasn’t all that happy to be in the studio!  But Dad somehow got him to turn into a happy child!  Thanks Aaron!  :-) Speaking of dad, here he is!  He came to our session on his lunch break, so that was nice!  It was nice to have an extra set of hands to help out!  :-) Dad had to go back to work, so we went outside and played for a little bit.  LOVE that the weather is nicer now so we can get outdoors! Happy Birthday Anders!  Thanks for coming Kim and Aaron!  Next time we’ll have to have big brother in there too!  :-)
