We recently had our family photos taken for Christmas and because it was our first photo shoot without Nicholas, we wanted to find small ways to honor him in our pictures. We brought a framed photo of him and it's kind of hard to see his face in the photos, so now we know to bring a larger one next time. We also brought a blue block with the letter 'N' on it and a small black wooden toy car he liked. It was a bittersweet experience as everything is without our son and I found myself getting teary several times during the shoot. I love my family, but without Nicholas it just doesn't seem complete.
