Tonight we had our Fondue Dinner. We had cheese and chocolate fondue pots mixed with a Sunday dinner. Of course the chocolate pot was the biggest hit!
My gifts for each of the kids were their 2009 Photo Books.
I put them together back in January and I decided then to save them for Valentine's Day. The kids were soooo excited to look at "their" book AND at all the other books. I kept telling Stephen, "Look at them - they are STILL looking at the books!" Some of the pictures they hadn't ever seen and of course some of the pictures sparked memories that we had to reminisce about.
I think this might be a tradition to get them done in January and give them out on Valentines Day! Thanks again for the idea Sherelle!
I'm new to your blog but already love your photos and I think that turning them into books for your kids is an amazing idea!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are finally going invest in a nice camera and I cannot wait to take great pictures of my kids. Might have to copy the idea too! Thankyou in advance :)
Shauna, I LOVE your books! I am anxious to look at them when we come to visit!!

LOVE this idea! where do you get your books printed? i know there are so many book printing sites out there these days.
ReplyDeleteI printed them through Blurb. I love how easy it is. You just download the folders of each kid. The downloading goes WAYYY fast. Then arrange pictures how you want and there you have it!
ReplyDeleteShauna, I have been so looking forward to pictures from your fondue dinner, it looks like so much fun! And I love love love those books...I want my own children just so I can make them their own books ;)
