Kept Me Busy

A few years ago, my daughter received a wonderful christmas present from her aunt. It has been one of the best present we could have gotten to help my girls learn the names of their family members and it is just so much fun to look at too. It was her very own personal ABC book. The book had pictures of her family members and herself for each letter of the alphabet. She still loves to look at this book.

So, this year I decided to give my nieces and nephews the same book. We all live in different states and only see each other about twice a year (if we are lucky), so this book is perfect for them as they are learning/remembering the names of the aunts, uncles and cousins.

But what a task. To make five individual books for each kids, lets just say it was time consuming, but fun and not too hard. The hardest part was finding the pictures for each book. 250 photos total. I was glad when i was done and didn't miss a person or letter. Here are some ABC examples:

G - Granpda - a picture of the child with grandpa
X- Xtra Sweet - a picture of the child eating cake
I - Ice Cream - a picture of the child eating ice cream
Q - Quiet - a picture of the child sleeping
C - a picture of all the cousins together
K - a picture of the child being kissed by his/her mom or dad

you get the picture (no pun intended).
