CHICAGO!!!!

TJ and I got to go visit Liz and the girls in Chicago! It was so much fun! I miss them so much though! I just want them to live back here in Utah! But, I guess we don't always get what we want :( The girls are getting so big and they are so adorable! We went to some museums, a planetarium, an aquarium, and the Sears Tower. It was so much fun! We took a TON of pictures! And I posted a lot of them! So enjoy the many many pictures! They aren't perfectly in order (cause we had pictures from our camera and Liz's) but, I tried. This post had taken forever! So I hope it looks good and you all enjoy it! :)

Areya was so excited to see us! She knew we were coming, but didn't know when, so she was surprised!

Aniela looks really scared!

I love this picture of Liz! She's so cute!

The Sears Tower



Looking out from up at the top of the tower

This is a great picture!

Aniela looks just like a little bunny!

Awww!

Areya took this picture! She is actually pretty good! Maybe she will be a photographer

Making Aniela's birthday hat

She loved it!

I'm so glad we got to be there for her birthday

She loved her bike!!

I handed her the whole frosting flower and she put it all in her mouth!

What a catch! And I don't mean the fish! ;)

I love this picture!



TJ being silly

Love birds!

This is probably my favorite picture of all!!!

We decided to play make-up and paint our nails. Areya wanted to paint TJ's and he actually let her! What a good uncle! Just wait and see, we help him get way in touch with his femine side! More than I ever wanted!

Then TJ painted Areya's! How sweet! We asked her who she wanted to paint her nails and she said that she wanted TJ too!

All of our pretty nails!

I did Areya's make-up

It's way too much, but I guess that's why it's play make-up!

And she did mine

and she did Aniela's

The results!

I was painting areya's fingernails and she wanted popcorn, so Aniela was feeding it to her! It was so cute!

We put little ponytails in TJ's hair! He said it hurt so bad and he feels bad that girls have to go through that :)

mommy and daughter- so sweet!

Areya's hair got all staticy from crawling under the sheets, then I used a comb to make it stick up even more! I love it!

Cute sisters!!

This picture is so cute! Aniela was just standing there with her hands in her pockets-I love it!


Our trip went by way too fast! I wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you so much Liz and Damion for letting us come visit! Sorry Liz if I stole all the good pictures! You can still do them on your blog too! :)
