Sunday Snapshot: {a favorite spot}

When Chris went to dress Vivienne this morning, he asked her what she wanted to wear.

And her reply surprised him.



“I wanna look like Mama!”



And if y’all have been around here for a minute or two, you know.

What Vivienne wants, Vivienne usually gets.



Especially because it’s usually something ridiculously cute.

Or in this case, so very sweet.



And, as much as I envy her porcelain skin and jet-black eye lashes, there isn’t a whole lot about me that looks like my beautiful Vivienne.

Except in the caboose area.



So I pulled out our only ‘matching’ shirts… So Loved.

And Vivienne lit up like a Christmas tree.



And upon hearing that Vivienne and I would be sporting our So Loved, you can imagine how fast Sophie and Isabelle ran to their dresser to grab theirs.



In honor of this day – seriously, y’all… I’ve probably got just a few more years that my girls want to be seen with me, much less dress like me – we decided to immortalize the event.



At one of our favorite spots.

We ended up not only taking a lot of pictures.



But having a fantastic time.

The weather was perfect… 70’s and overcast.



And, with bellies full of some of the best burgers on the Sea Coast, everyone was happy to be let loose.



The kids ran wild.

Wide open spaces will do that to ’em.



And I just followed along with my camera, grinning all the way.

Watching Vivienne from behind will do that to me.



We even twisted the arm of an innocent by-passer to take a family picture.



And, while it’s not the best,

Certainly, it will do.



It will serve to remind us, as we prepare to leave New England, of all the memories made at this place.

A most favorite spot.

    Love, love, love this snapshot!! How sweet of your girls to want to look like their mama! One of my kids favorite things to do is to run wild – they will let me take as many picture of them (from behind) as I want! Have a great Sunday and keep enjoying New England!

    While it is not the best? I think it is great! I struggle to get photos of our family where no one is making a face or looking like they are plotting an escape from the photo shoot…and I just have a family of 5!

    All the photos are fabulous – I can see why that is one of your favorite spots.

    Oh, I love these pics… Wish I had your skillz with a camera. The shot of all of you together is beautiful. But my fave is Daddy and Vivi holding hands. I LOVE it. What a gift, to be able to snap those moments in time to treasure forever.

    I posted about one of my favorite spots too, albeit a little late. Come on by and see πŸ™‚
