First, I had to get on the computer and find pictures of everyone. We do not have one picture of the whole family, someone always needs to stand behind the camera I guess. Maybe we can resolve this problem at Christmas when we have the tripod out and everyone is together and photo-ready. In the meantime, we have plenty of pictures of everyone, including lots of group shots that include nearly everyone. We sure do have a big family!
I asked Gracie who she wanted to include and she named everyone in our house, Jillian (her best friend), and the grandmas. She also wanted Katie in it since she is her sister and of course, Katie's family. I talked her out of adding Jillian because it is a family collage, but I promised her she could make one just for home with pictures of her friends. After she named everyone, we chose the photos to print.
I printed a couple of photos of each person so that she had options when it came to cutting and gluing. Good thing I did, she had a few cutting mishaps and a couple of photos turned out too big. Gracie cut each person out and arranged them. She put herself in the middle and stuck everyone around her. I think it turned out so wonderful!

I love it!! She did a super good job arranging everyone. And she picked out pics that show us all in good light. Tell her I'm very proud of her.
