An annual keepsake of maternal affection

I have five children, now aged 12 to 20. Every year since my eldest was 3 years old, I have made them a special photo album of the past year as a special keepsake and tradition.

In each of their special books, I write a heartfelt and thoughtful note letting them know how proud I am of them, how special they are to me, how much I love them.

This takes a lot of work each year as I sort through hundreds of pictures and divide them up for processing, but well worth the effort as my children love and look forward to their memories keepsake and special message from me, their mom.
