Okay, grab your hankies, Moms. This one will make you well up a little...or maybe it's just me. Look at this painting titled "Her First Christmas" by Robert Gemmel Hutchison.
Isn't that sweet? I love her little round blushed cheek. I remember all of my babies at this stage, overheated and exhausted with the excitement of the activity, lights, and dare I admit...even egg nog. The toddlers run around smiling, squeaking merrily, until they collapse in a heap like this picture at the end of the day. What a cool father Robert Gemmell Hutchison must have been. This painting is way more creative and memorable than a "Baby's first Christmas" onesie or sleeper! Not that I'm knocking it...I think all my kids have one!
Wipe your tears, Moms. Remember your precious ones like this next time one of them tries to eat tinsel off your tree!
Little man would say, "So much tinsel, so little time!"
ReplyDeleteI love this pic, it is beautiful. What a lovely Christmas memory.
My children found their CHristmas presents and already unwrapped the others that were under the tree. I will need to look at this picture for hours to overcome that...:)
