I really LOVE this picture of me during what I presume to be my second Christmas season circa 1976. I would have been about 21 months old. I am just gazing up at the tree in awe I suppose. Who knows what I was thinking, but I think it’s a great shot. I am going to guess that my daddy took this picture, but I would have to ask to know for sure.
The fact that the picture is turning yellow on the bottom reminds me that there are about a kazillion pictures out there that I wish I had time to scan of me and my family when I was growing up, etc. You know, before digital images were even a thought. Unfortunately, I think it is only a matter of time before many of those pictures are unrecoverable
Anyway, I just wanted to share this image and recapture a little of my childhood and the sheer joy that children get from the season. Only 5 days left!
P.S. Don’t you just love the shag carpet?? HA!
You are lucky. I am 45 years old and all of my childhood photos are slides!
What a great photo! Captures that age perfectly!
Merry Christmas, Elaine (and of course Tim, Ben, and Gavin and your mom and dad)
I love that picture of you. The house tour was great. Yours looked beautiful. Back to present wrapping. Sally, Eli, and Evelyn will be here tomorrow.
Hugs,
Sharry
Perfect photo of Christmas anticipation and joy! We wish a most blessed Christmas Day to you and your family from both of ours.
Merry Christmas,
