Our seminar today was cancelled due to the snow storm we got overnight. The highways were in rough shape so Dr.Devall wasn't able to make it. So I ended up with almost a whole day to do my own thing. I did some training with the dogs, played in the snow, and visited with my parents. While I was over their visiting I took the opportunity to go through some old family photos. It was a hoot, and we all laughed about the funny hair, and clothes. My mother thought that my sister and I should always dress the same when we were young- and of course they had to be these super elaborate (very uncomfortable) dresses. Some of the photos are pretty funny.
I took some photos with my iphone for your viewing pleasure. Sorry for the poor quality but it was this or nothing.
First some family photos with my siblings- Kris is two years older than me, and Sabrina is just about two years younger.

Matching dresses. I remember being so itchy!!! Look how cute we are though! |

I almost didn't bother taking a pic of this but I had to show the hated dress!!! My sister and I hated these dresses. And my mom made us wear them to the first day of school. Note the matching (but different color) backpacks... |

We were seriously cute. |
Now here are some token school photos. I didn't think to look on the back for ages or the year so I will have to guess...
|
maybe grade 3? |
|
grade 6? |
and one last one- just because I am especially cute in yet another itchy dress. :)
It was a fun way to spend a few hours. I am thankful that I no longer can be forced to wear dresses (or eat hamburger helper!)

Those are awesome! My mom did the same thing to me and my sister all the time!! She'd buy 2 dresses/outfits in different colours (and not just when we were little - she still thought it was acceptable when we were in our early teens!!) It drove me crazy!!! I've vowed to never do that to my kids.
