Need some ideas
PrairieMom wrote: Every year I take a pic of The Boy in my DH's old dress shirt for a special photo album that I am making for him. This is this year and last year. ( I don't have his one year pic on my computer any more) I want to do the same thing for Ally, but I don't know what to put her in. I would like for her to be in something of mine, but I am drawing a blank Anyone have an idea?

Kaitlin'smom replied: do you have a favorite dress, swetter, top?
how about your wedding veil........
holley79 replied: Wht an awesome idea. What about a favorite sun dress or something girlie?
CantWait replied: I love this idea
Very cute Tara.
luvmykids replied: Thats such an awesome idea! I take one of their feet every year on their birthday It's the front page of each section of their scrapbooks but I like your idea better!
What about a favorite pair of shoes or jacket?
mommyofpremitwins replied: I love the wedding veil idea. So cute.
PrairieMom replied: oohhh. my veil! thats a good idea. I was thinking about something to do with my wedding dress, but it would really be to much of a hassle, and I don't really want it wrecked, dragging it out once a year, it wouldb e bound to get damaged, but I never thought about just doing the veil.
Thanks!
I have been putting the pics in their very own scrap book, with 2 pages for each year. One page has a 5x7 of the pic, and the next page has a list of questions. I use the same questions every year.
My Name is: I am years old
My favorite food is: My favorite color is: My favorite toy is: My favorite game is: My favorite memory of this year was: Next year I would like to: Extras:
so far I have filled out the page for Ben, but when he is able to write he will do it himself. I plan on doing it every year until he turns 18.
holley79 replied: That is really awesome. I think I am giong to totally still that idea from you if you don't mind.
PrairieMom replied: go for it! I stole it from some one too. i think it was some one on Oprah, maybe talking about legacy's and children or something like that.
Our Lil' Family replied: I am completely in love with this idea!!!!!!!! I will start now (18 mo.) and do it every year....what a wonderful thing to have!!!!!!!! I'm almost in tears I love it so much!!
PrairieMom replied: I'm glad I could inspire you!
The real trick is convincing them to do it when they are teen agers.
siblingtooolivia replied: What happens when The Boy is bigger than DHs shirt when he is 15
Love the idea and the veil part is perfect if you ask me.......
PrairieMom replied: Then He will have to squish into it. He will look like Chris Farley when he is doing his "fat man in a little coat" bit. i don't think that will happen tho, the shirt is pretty big, even for DH, and we aren't big people in general.
kimberley replied: that is a very cute idea. i would probably put her in the wedding dress too
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I just saw this in my Parents magazine. A mom put her swimsuit on her daughter. Her daughter is now 16 and fits into it...so cute! I also read that someone put their wedding dress on their daughter. Great idea! I have yet to put photos of the boys in their albums...
PrairieMom replied: The day that girl fits into my wedding dress will probably kill me.
Maddie&EthansMom replied: Tara that is such a wonderful idea and those are the cutest pics I've ever seen. What a HANDSOME little man!!!! 
I'm also going to steal this idea from you. Do you think it's too late to start doing this with Maddie?? Honestly.
PrairieMom replied: no, not at all. If its something you want to do then having some years done would be better than noe at all KWIM?
