A native Californian transplanted in southern Illinois.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!

(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).
