    Oh my goodness you guys!!!
    Check out this email I just received!!!

    ...

    Dear Alison,

    Just stopping by to say Merry Christmas & Congratulations!

    Your beautiful picture of your daughter "He's Here"
    http://alisongreenwoodphotography.co...2_640_copy.jpg
    will be the Kodak Picture of the Day, Christmas Day, Dec. 25, 2008.

    It will be displayed on kodak.com and every few minutes
    on the Kodak Times Square Gallery in New York City.

    I loved your picture so much -- I kept it in the queue since
    last December, so that I could use it this year. :-)

    Thanks for sharing it and your story with us, and I hope to
    see many more.

    Merry Christmas!

    Marianna O'Brien
    Editor, Kodak Picture of the Day

    What fantastic news Alison!!

    My brother lives in Manhattan, about 30 blocks from Times Square. I'm not sure if he will be there Christmas Day (may be at Mom & Dad's place in PA) but if he is, I'm sure he'd be happy to get a shot of your photo on the "big screen". I'll let you know in the next day or two.

    BTW, I remember someone also had a picture that won a contest and was on display on a jumbo-tron in Times Square. Was anyone able to take a picture of that one and who was the person?
