Remember When

On Sunday we celebrated my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary.  We had a great evening with family.  As a gift, we presented our parents with a photobook and slide show of pictures from the last 40 years. They loved it!!  Special thanks to my super cool friend John who worked his wonders on the slide show. 

It was fun to look back at how much we all have changed, to see their life together before our lives existed and to look back and remember people who have passed on.  The nostalgia wasn't even ruined when Jana said to my mom; 'You know Nana, GiGi's brother had real hairy boobs'.  

Here is a quick look at some of my favourite pictures we found; 

Pure sweetness.  My brother and sister in 1972. 

My brother lovingly reading me a story.  

--Ya right.  As soon as we saw this we both said

 'there's no way we did that - - were definitely posing'.  

Then we laughed and laughed.  

How short are my brother's shorts?  And nice mesh belly shirt.   

This is the one that made me laugh the hardest. 

This is my grandpa - making fart sounds in his armpit. 

I sure wish I met him...(for more reasons than this of course).

I don't know the story behind this one.  

I only know it involves me, my dad and a banjo.

And that we look pretty damn happy.    

 My sister looks so much like her daughter here, 

my brother has a barrette in his hair

and my mom looks so pretty.  I love this picture. 

Me - rockin' a plaid jumpsuit and stylin' some hair. 

Remember when bangs started way back on your head? 

Also - check out those pop bottles. 

Love my dad's jacket in this one.
