These Are The Days

My sister, Laura, is getting married next week. As the final countdown begins, I've been doing a lot of reminiscing about our younger years and all the things we went through together.

As if the experience of moving from Norway to the United States in elementary school wasn't traumatic enough, one day I came home from high school to the realization that my younger sister suddenly wasn't so small any more. She was now taller than me! My parents did always warn me not to pick on her because one day she would be bigger than me.

Nostalgia aside, Kylie (Maid of Honor) and I (Matron of Honor) thought we would take the Bride to Be out for a night on the town and stay at a swanky Houston hotel. No girls night would be complete without some fun photos. I brought along feather boas, jewelry, and had the girls bring their Little Black Dresses. Laura and Kylie actually made my life very easy with regards to telling them how to pose. I'd give them my general idea and they would run with it. The result was gorgeous as you'll see below.


Kylie and Laura:


In order to get me in any of the photos, I had to use a tripod and a remote shutter release:




This one is my favorite. Laura looks amazing!






This one is Kylie's Mad Men pose:



Kylie took this last one and I am forever grateful. It totally says "Sister, I love you bunches!" We're also laughing because I was on my tiptoes and Laura was squatting down a bit. That girl has 4 inches on me. ;-)
