Birthday Pictures!

Elena had her birthday picture taken today. We started this tradition when Elias had his first birthday picture. The photographer thought it would be cute to use this red chair in the background. When we went back the next year, we had them use the red chair in the picture again. About the third year, we went in and they had gotten rid of the red chair! We knew it was from Ikea, so we ordered one ourselves. Now we have this red chair on a shelf in the garage and we tote it to the Picture People twice a year for each of their birthday pictures. Not sure how long we will keep this up- I guess as long as they will smile for the camera! As you can see below, that is not a problem yet! (I've included last year's picture so we can all see how much she's grown)
