From Xmas 1996: Picture Updated

December 18th, 2014 at 01:03 am

I have been enjoying the holiday shots of people's children so much, I thought I would post one from when mine were little. Of course, my pics from this era were not digital, so I had to scan this in. I am afraid I do not have a color scanner. (The kids are dressed in red and white). And of course, it looks like a newspaper photo, which detracts from their cuteness.

But here are my kiddos at Xmas time, 1996. MrsM180 was 6 and J was 1. MrsM180 is making a face because I kept telling her to smile. If I had just let her be, she probably would have smiled beautifully. But I had to keep saying "smile", and she kept trying. J is very suspicious of the entire affair.



I miss the little people days.

If anyone has any tips as to how I could get this looking like a photo, please share!

Update: Still not picture perfect, but so much better! Thank you for the technical help, Starfishy!

    I can tell they are cute! The time with the little ones goes to fast. I didn't believe it until about three years ago when I realized my daughter was in high school.

    Fedex/Kinkos or another place like that will scan it in color for you for cheap.

    If you lived near me I'd do it for you Smile

    Cuties! Hard to believe my little ones will be grownups someday! But having read Mrs M180' s posts, this really drives it home...sigh.

    You know, the thing is, it doesn't seem that long ago since this picture was taken. I still recall the entire outing so clearly. Enjoy the little people years while they last, Ceejay. Smile
    That's a good idea Suzanne, thank you.

    adorable! if you just want to post the photo, you could take a digital photo of it. if you want to print it out, the places like kinkos, etc., like someone mentioned above.

    Cute! I agree with starfishy, you can take a digital photo of it and then post it.

    Cute! I love the kitty sweater!

    (Yeah, I just usually take pictures of old photos. We do have a scanner, but taking a picture is so quick and easy - for any online sharing).
