Need Your Opinions Please
 So, my brother is engaged to a woman who has a 6 year old son from her previous marraige.  They both spend alot of time with our family.

My dilemna is this:  I am making my mom a mini-album with photos of all her grandkids in it.  Do I include the Fiance's son even though he isn't technically my mom's grandchild or do I leave it to her actual grandkids??? 

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings on christmas when mom opens it.........

TIA!!!

ETA:  THank you all for your opinions.  I should have added that they are getting married on the 21st of December so it is before Christmas.  I really like the idea of including him so noone gets their feelings hurt, but I will put it on the last page so it can be removed easily and just hope that never happens because we really like them :-)

 Would it be possible to include him, but in a way that the pages can be discretely removed later if it doesn't work out?

 If it were me I would ask my brother what he thinks. You don't want to include the child and have his fiance get upset so I think it's best to ask him. :-D

 I think you should include at least one photo of the son because you brother may be hurt if you did not because that will be his stepson soon.

 ewww, that's a hard one.  If they were already married, I would say yes.  Maybe you could just put one photo in there or do a separate mini frame with the 6 yr old in it.  Then hopefully there will be no hurt feelings.

 Hmm.  A grandma can't have too many grandchildren, no matter where they come from.  Pages can be changed/removed if every necessary.

 When I´ve made album for my mom I always included all the grandkids, both by blood and by relations. That is what I fell the best with :-D

Re: Need Your Opinions Please
 That is hard.. but for right now.. I would not include it, b/c they are not married and a lot can change between the wedding. So just incase something doesn't work out. Because technically it isn't an 'offical' grandchild yet. That's a really touch call though.

 You can't live for what happens tomorrow, if he is part of her life now, then include him!  I'm not married to my b/f, and if his grandson was out of my life because of a break up, I wouldn't get rid of my pics of him, he is a special part of my life now....and hopefully for a very long time!

 I would include him.  Kids are kids and if you don't include him then it might hurt feelings now and later.

 ok, i am in the same situation, with an older girl.  i would include the boy in a few of the pictures, you will want to make him welcome and it will make your brother and his soon to be new wife very happy.

 Does your mom treat the son like a grandchild?  If so I would do a few pages with him on it.

My nephew has a step daughter and I included her in some of the things I did for my mom.  She treats her just like on of the great grandchild.
