Found.

Adorable!!!! Thanks for sharing that with us.

i love this photo. i'm just a bit older than you, so many of our family photos are of the same "vintage." great memories, indeed.

Hi Ali,
Love the picture! I take a lot of pics of our family too and hope one day our children will feel the same way. Take care. Really enjoying your blog!

Ali.....
Hi!!!! Found you online again. So proud of you! Unbelievable how successful you have become. You go girl! God is good, eh?
I have to say that I think that Simon looks like Chris. Perhaps if I saw him in person, I would think otherwise. Cuuuute boy!
Would love to talk with you, as I work at a design company. If you have a minute email me back.
Love to you and your fam!
Happy Holidays!

wow - it's like a little longhaired Simon! i never saw it before. thanks for sharing. :)

I too always thought Simon looked like you. I saw it in your "Scrapbook Layouts", the one titled "One Brother". Also the layout titled "3generations", I can see you in the younger version of your mom! So all three of you favor eachother... the nose and eyes. Too cool!
See ya tongight.

so so cute! Little Heather looks like she is as big as the ornament box!

What a perfect photo. How great to run across it after so many years.

What a sweet, sweet photo. Love it. I love the feet poking out, how kids at that age sit with their legs sticking out straight in front of them.

love it, love it, the pictures hows the exact size... who knew twenty some years from then you would charish this gift

Very cute, but I saw the date and I suddenly feel very old. I was nearly done with High School at that time. LOL

Hi Ali,
What a cute photo. I have an ornament tradition for my son as well. Each year (he is about to experience Christmas #4) I have purchased an ornament as a reminder of something he was really excited about that year. His first year, it was a bottle, the second was a John Deere tractor (tra tra was pretty well his first word after da and ma), last year it was Bob the Builder and this year it will be Thomas. He gets it now and is so excited about it. I hope you have fun with Simon's ornaments, too.

You can see so much of Simon in your face in that picture.
What a wonderful gift, you ought to be so proud of your momma for holding onto that for you xx

Is your brother crying or laughing?
Either way - great picture.
Also - I am in love with those boxes your grandma made. Will you be posting information on how to make such things? I've been buying ornaments for my son and would love to have something special for him to keep them in.

what a precious photo!

What a great photo! My grandmother also would give us ornaments every year.. I think that is such a cool thing to do that now that she is gone... I have started doing it for my kids and neices and nephews!

Precious picture! I have to tell you that I have been blessed by your blog...thank you for all the inspiration. Me and my boys have made button trees...and I am trying to get the advent boxes done up. Working, working as it is a neat project!

Adorable! This really inspires me to create a box for Duncan's homemade ornaments (we just started making them last year, but we already need a box, heh-heh)! Thanks for this awesome share (love the photo so much)!

WHAT A TREASURE OF A PHOTO!!! TFS that, Ali!
I have an unrelated question re: the CK KOTM. I've already purchased 2 (one to keep & one to share) :-> and it's only 5am. (yay, me; up early on Saturday!)
I'm curious as to whether you had any input in designing these stamps. I know that you've already been using some on some of your projects shown here on your blog, but I *think* that I recall your mentioning something about this being 'your' KOTM?? CK isn't promoting it that way, though - which kind of surprises me if you DID contribute to it, given how quickly your kits sell out - but that was just something that was sticking in my mind and I was wondering if you feel comfortable answering??
Thanks so much and BLESSINGS this season.

I love that I'm seeing these old photos from the same time period as my childhood lately. Seeing the clothes, the type of Christmas tree decorating, the colors, etc. reminds me of my own childhood and childhood photos and they make me feel nostalgic.

I just recently found your blog (I know, where have I been?) and I love it! This photo is adorable. :)

What a cute photo! Those boxes are sooooooooo cool and such a treasure for each of you, as adults.

Oh my...Simon is Mini-you. Sorry Chris.
