I missed the opportunity to post a Happy 25th Birthday to my twins last week - so this week I am featuring their first "mall" photos. And I mean mall photos.
There was a spot in the middle of the mall (a predecessor to the "kiosks" that now fill up all the walking space.) The set-up was a table and an easel with backgrounds on it and a photographer right out there in the middle of things. This always made for a crowd willing help distract crabby babies (ahem, Zac) and get involved in the whole enterprise.
Back in the late 1980's, twins were not as common as they are now and we drew quite a crowd. Maggie sat up, smiled a bunch and that was that. Zac wouldn't sit and it took a looonng time to capture a somewhat pleasant look - I think he was shy of the crowds hooting and waving at him.
So happy 25th birthday and thanks for all the wonderful memories! I don't even mind how old I feel to have kids who are 25.

I have ZERO mall pictures because we live too far away from any malls! Happy Birthday to your twins!
awww, they were both so cute!
So cute! Are they close as adults?
Happy birthday to your twins! Are their personalities now anything like the experience of photographing them at the mall 25 years ago?
Love!
Love you Mom!
