Look.at.the.camera. Sit.up.straight. Sigh….
Amidst all the hopping and wiggling I finally got the gang together! Now aren't they cute? Chicks and bunnies, old and new gathered together for a family portrait. Don't you think they'll thank me someday when they remember the days when they all lived together? Easter pictures – it's a tradition for all of us…. don't you love it? New clothes and egg hunts!
1954? Jeff…aka Columbo and sisters Judy and Joan
1956. - My big sister and me. New dresses always made by Mother of dotted swiss or some frilly ruffled fabric and always a new hat and shoes. 
1958? Jeff and Joan with Granny showing off new Easter shoes!
Zoom - Easter 1968 A new generation. Now I'm the one taking the Easter pictures and in charge of new hats and shoes.
1969 one year later a new hat, a new outfit even a new Easter car!
1970 All dressed up heading for the egghunt!
1972 HA - Choosing my own hats now! New outfits and a new brother on the way! It's Easter so white purses and shoes are permitted! lol
Two years later One of mine is already out of the Easter outfit…much to the aggravation of Greg aka Tucker Carlson! Not only am I not taking a ton of pictures – I've begun to recycle Easter outfits!
This is more like it …no hats – old shoes – no pants for one of us – Easter with the cousins at Granny's house.
1998 - 23 years later….the next generation! Brandon's little Brandon aka the Bjer!
1999 - The annual egg hunt in McAllen - Barbara and the Bjer….. Cascarones!!!
Happy Easter!!!!

ReplyDeleteNancy, I love this post. All the photos and memories are wonderful. I am so glad you shared with us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday. I hope you had a nice Easter. I know you are feeling sad about the loss of Laverne's mother. The two of you are blessed to be friends.
I'm still working my way through the PS posts. I think your Easter pictures are wonderful - love the bunnies too!
ReplyDeleteMissing you on PS today. Hope you are feeling better by now.
ReplyDeleteIt's HOT in Missouri....why does it go from freezing to hot in hours? Where's our Spring? :)
This weekend has been jam-packed and continues to be so right though tomorrow. Just took time out to fix a Mint Julep and watch the Kentucky Derby....no it's time to cook my side dishes for the Mother's Day Feast. Maybe I should've done that BEFORE I enjoyed that Mint Julep! Sluuuuurp! :)
Hope it's been a good Pink Saturday for you......cuz you're still on MY list today!
