The best Christmas present ever
on december 27th i heard a thump at my back door. i opened it to find a little package from wellsville, and i became giddy opening it. you all know by now, that i love packages. like i said, it's the one good thing about living far away from family. inside this package was 13 cd's filled with pictures from my childhood. my mom and i had talked earlier in the year and i had mentioned that i'd love to have copies of these slides. slides in our family are pretty important, when we get together, we get some treats and pile in the family room and view the pictures from the 80's. they are hilarious and bring back so many memories. we love to yell about dad's beard, and mom's scandalous short skirts, and our hair and are reminded of all the fun places we went in our little volkswagen van called gutless. i have had the BEST time looking at them and telling evan the stories behind them. so, for your viewing enjoyment here are a few.
*that little pink shirt was a favorite for a LONG time. i wore it often and i'm sure i tried to wear it many days in a row.
*my little sister sarah and i. we were camping. i loved those floppies, because they were like my dad who had 'cool' floppies.
*my family minus carly who wasn't born yet, and my dad who was taking the picture. check out the hair. being a rawlinson, we ladies have LOTS of hair, good thing i have someone to cut my hair so that i don't end up looking like a triangle head. this pic is up in canada at lake louise, one of my favorite places.
we are headed for a little vacation out west, yahooooooooooie! have a wonderful valentines.
