A few years ago I started making the grandparents a scrapbook page of each of our kids for Christmas. So each year, they get to add a new page to their album. It's a fun way to take the growth of the kids. The past year, I totally dropped the ball. Honestly, I just forgot about it.
My mom has nicely asked a few times since Christmas if I would make my kids' pages for her album. A couple of days ago the kids' Christmas pages finally made it to the top of my list and her pages are now complete.
I used photos that I took in November, so that the kids would look how they looked around Christmas time.

I never try to coordinate the pages with each other because each of the kids has their own section in the album. It's a fun way to watch the kids grow each year.

The pages are really simple and I just kept the focus on the photo.

I added a bit of journaling naming things the kids were interested in around that time.
Now I need to make another couple of sets for my husband's parents. Hopefully it doesn't take me another six months to get them done!
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! What a GREAT IDEA!!! LOVE IT! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! i actually do something similar but it's an album of everyone-kids, grandkids, great grandkids for my grandmas and parents. My one grandma gets SO excited every year she can't wait until Christmas to open it! :)
