I kicked off 2011 with a fun (and frigid!) session on new year’s day. We had two awesome families. . .
. . . with a very awesome connection–twin sisters!
Although the sun was shining, the temperatures in Bozeman on January 1st were in the single digits. So we did lots of snuggling and hugging. . .
And the big kids braved the cold for a few minutes without their coats, even giving me some beautiful smiles!
We’re going to wait for a warmer spring day to get the little guys out there without coats, but they were all troopers and we managed a fun extended family photo before jumping back in the car to thaw out our fingers and toes!
I’m thinking that last one would make a fun canvas, don’t you? 
these are wonderful! the children are gorgeous!
