Did you take photos/videos of dc opening their presents?

or were you just in the moment?

Yes, DD aged 12, had a big surprise this year. I filmed her opening it, it was lovely at the time, I have already rewatched it and I’m glad I filmed it.

I didn’t film anything else being opened.

Hope all enjoyed

We had a camera running for a Timelapse and I also took some pictures and videos. Captured some lovely surprise faces.

Yes because mine are children in care, I am a foster carer, and I think photos help to build a picture of their lives. I was fostered myself 50 odd years ago and have no memories, no photos of that part of my life and it has left me with lots of blanks in my life. I don't want that for the children who come to me so I take loads of videos and photos, I keep a copy and I pass a copy on when the little one leaves me to go home/to their new family.
