When you are getting your holiday pictures done, whether it be at Sears, or Picture People, a best friend or me, make sure YOU get in the picture!

So often we say, I don’t want to get in the picture because I’m too fat right now or I don’t like my haircut, or whatever. But you know what? This how your children know you. Fat, thin, tall, short, makeup, no makeup….this is who you are RIGHT NOW and this how your children know and love you. If something were to happen to you tomorrow, would they have pictures to remember you by? If something were to happen to your son or daughter, wouldn’t you want pictures of you WITH them?

Our husbands tend to be the same way (at least I know mine is) and I feel just as strongly about them getting in the picture.  This is something that really can’t be put off.

Please make sure you get in the picture, and OFTEN!
