I ♥ Faces Contest ~ Nostalgia



Photobucket

Visit I ♥ Faces for more photos and information about their awesome contests!

For the Nostalgia theme photography contest I chose this recent photo of my fifth child hugging her armful of Elmos! Elmo has been around for many childhoods in our house, the collection passed down and enriched by each child's particular choice of a favorite. Elmo was the first imaginary friend for most of our children and he will forever remind me of the sweetness and innocence of children who believe friends can come in all shapes and sizes..... and colors!

I have a picture of my first born just like this one. She had her elmo slippers and all her elmo dolls. So cute! I sent her to Kindergarten today. Thanks for the memory!

Oh, so cute. My daughter was into Elmo too when she was younger...I miss those days. This really is nostalgic...such a great memory for me.

What a sweet picture and memory. I love how her eyes are peeking out from behind Elmo's eyes!
