Works for Me! Traditional birthday pictures!

I love traditions. When Bigs was three I heard the idea to take a traditional birthday photo...of her in my wedding dress. Considering I have only worn it once, this is the best way to get it's moneys worth :) Each girl gets this picture taken each birthday and each girl has a little album just for these. It's amazing how quick they change! For boys you could use a suit coat or your husband's old Letterman jacket (do they get these any longer?). The girls also asked if they could get a picture of ME in the dress on my birthday.....ummmm, we'll have to get back to you on that! So to celebrate Bigs turning 6, enjoy the last few years of her traditional pictures :)

  6. This is such a good idea! I knew I was letting my dress take up precious closet space for a reason!
