Do you hand your camera to someone else to capture your son or daughters big day?
YOU SHOULD!
We as moms want the party to be perfect. Games, decor, cake, presents, photos..... kids well behaved, parents thinking the kids are well behaved... you know the pressure.
Here is my professional advice.... pass your camera off to someone.. or hire a photographer to capture the big day.
You will be so glad.
And so will your kids.
And, you will be remembered as being AT the party. Proof. Kids love to see their mom and dad in the photos.

birthday boy is in the camo shirt with the big grin :)

begin mission
take cover...
regroup and get ready for the raid
attack!!
(there were better pics of the water ballon attack, but this kid in the NIKE shirt was so cute, I had to choose this one:)
well done troops...
again, mom is INCLUDED in photo (in mid birthday song).. and that is priceless
check out the look on his face when he opens this gift.... BAM or should I say BANG?
mission accomplished
p.s.- moral to the story, it is so important to be in the photos. JUST DO IT.
