Flashback Friday- My mom tried!

This is me playing catch up on Flashback Friday. Here is a picture of my two older sisters and I at Christmas time 1982. My poor mother just wanted a nice photo of her little darlings and this is the best she could get from us. I peed my pants (explanation of why I am minus the coordinating tights), not sure why Connie is covering her face, and then my oldest sister, Carrie, with her dress tucked into the front of her tights. I love how hard my mom worked to make us coordinating outfits for every holiday. At the time I hated it, because as my sisters' grew out of their past outfits, I donned them for many years after the magic (and the color) had faded. She was and is an amazing woman and in spite of all of my detours, she and God never let me fall too far off the road. She is a survivor of heartache, cancer, and the 70s! Thanks mom!
