SPT - No Frills here!

I am frantic - I can't find half of my old childhood pics. We are storing a quarter of our things in Utah while we are living here in Montreal so I am hoping that's where they are hiding.




There are three siblings in our family. Jenn on the right and my brother Rick and me on the left. Rick and I would've easily past for twins in those days. Our photos be it, Easter, Christmas, the 4th of July were pretty much the same - the three of us lined up in a row. I only have a few photos with my parents in the photo but I can't find those. The photo above is the closest I could find to anything representing a bonnet.


It was our Easter tradition to have mini lessons each night of the week about the Savior and on Easter morning - which seemed to always land on fast Sunday - we always had an Easter basket waiting for us. The Easter morning I remember the most was when my mom had made popcorn ball mix and molded the mix into baskets for us. So we were able to eat the Easter baskets - plus the candy inside - after we broke our fast!

This was taken about 1984 in our back yard in Washington. This dress was pretty indicative of the types of dresses I liked to wear.



This is our Family Self-Portrait we took on Easter. Admittedly, there are no frills in this picture, just honest quality time we haven't had in awhile. We'll get plenty of warm, flowery shots together when spring finally decides to show itself here!

Great family picture. I had to smile when seeing your 1984 dress. Most of my Easter dresses looke just like that when I was young.

How funny! That first black & white picture of you DOES look exactly like a miniature version of you now, but the 1984 pic looks like a different girl! I'm confused! Ha!

What a mum you had to make EDIBLE Easter baskets! That's marvellous.
