Today my beautiful sister turns 30 and what better way to honor her than with a montage of family pictures full of nostalgia and with just a dash or two of embarrassment thrown in for good measure. These days are long gone, but they have made us who we are today...
No, that is not my Baby-pees-Alot doll, that is my cherub-like little sister.
I have a bone to pick with you, Mom...how come she got the cute swept over barrette and I got the devil horns version?
If it pleases the court, I'd like to enter the above pictures into evidence...my sister has severe Wedgaphobia (fear of wedgies)...I think I may have found the reason, overalls and suspenders a plenty!
We have weathered many trends together...who remembers these beauties? I know they had a name but can't for the life of me remember!?? (can anyone help me out? or was this just an Alabama thing?)
(alternate caption: "you cant get mad for any of the pictures I posted of you because I posted THIS ONE of myself")
You know the other team was shaking in their cleats when they saw us coming...that's right, cleats not KEDS, geez, who wears keds to play softball? Oh yeah, the same chicks who bobby pin their hats to the back of their heads so as not to squash the bangs....sigh....
Berry picking or Jazzercise?...you decide!
Can't you just smell the beauty?
Now that we are both in the infancy of our third decade, I can safely say that we are as close as two sisters can be, taking every chance to laugh at those adolescent and pre-adolescent days when we thought we were the coolest kids on the block, revelling in the lives that we have created for ourselves and looking forward to watching each others children and grandchildren grow up...hoping against hope that they too will one day feel a love that is a kin to what we have as sisters.Happy Birthday, Deedee!!!! I love you!

OMG I'm laughing and crying. I love the beautiful woman you both are but I sure do miss those little girls you used to be...Great post Meg and Happy Birthday Deed.
I love this post! Those pictures are priceless. I'm with your Aunt Lu, laughing and crying. I have been blessed to be the mother of you two amazing girls. So glad to know I got what I always wanted during those teen years -- you guys love each other, you really love each other!
Ponchos! I SO remember those! Great post...Nice to see I wasn't the only one dressed that way as a wee one. :)
It seems as though Erin is not the only one who has the talent of telling a story. I love this Meghan! So, so sweet. Reminds me a lot of my sister and I growing up - especially the pink short outfit that Erin is wearing in the berry picking picture. Soooo typically 80's!
This is such a great post! How lucky you both are to have each other.
(I can't get over how much Sarah looks like you, Meghan, in these photos!)
S-
You almost made me cry! It is so much fun to look back but it is so hard to believe that time has gone so fast.
Too funny! I love the photos and somewhere in there I think I saw a hint of Sarah & Ephraim. The ponchos and the soft ball uni's take the cake!
Thanks guys! It was a fun post to do...
PONCHOS,YES! and I think Baja, sounds like it too...i dont know.
OMG, I can't believe I didn't leave a comment! Since I was talking to you on FB when I read this I got sidetracked. I have two things to say to you: first, I LOVE YOU, and second, pay back's a B*tch. ;)
We called the ponchos - coronas. No clue why, maybe because the most popular ones at the flea markets in our area were advertisements for corona beer. lol.
Great tribute to your sis!
Ponchos! I loved mine! I've actually seen them in a couple of stores recently.
Love this!! You are two beautiful and awesome ladies!! :) (and I had one of those stupid things too, so it wasn't just an Alabama thing)
These photos are darling! <3
