Jen, My Beautiful Sister-in-Law
While in New York, we had some beautiful snow! It wasn't blizzard-y or slushy usually, just slow-falling, not-too-cold snow. Mom & Dad live out in a really pretty, woodsy area and everything was just so gorgeous while blanketed in snow!

Jen is a little bit of a ham and great in front of the camera (and much easier than toddlers!) so I thought a little mini photo shoot would be a fun, sisterly thing to do! I would have loved to get nice portraits of each family member … maybe some day!

We went for a short walk in the woods (the snow was too deep for my pregnant waddle to take me too far!) and pretty much just goofed around in the back yard. We thought it would be fun to get a photo from above with me in an old hunting tree stand, but when Jen went to check out how stable it was, she fell through the floor. No, thanks! We hung out at the side of the garage, playing with an old pole, hugging trees, sitting on a trashed bookshelf, etc. Goofy, but fun!!

And Jen is just too beautiful! I love her bright red hair and vibrant coat, too!
