I was thumbing through my picture files and came across this Christmas picture from 1984 and the memories came flooding back. Erin's Christmas dress was a Jessica McClintock(and probably the last time I got her to wear ribbons and ruffles) and Kara's dress was made by your's truly--don't they look darling? This is as close to a smile as Bri would come, but Brett's smile more than made up for hers! Don't you just love the professionalism of Sear photography--with the three girls looking one way and Brett another? I guess you do get what you pay for!
Does this picture bring back any memories? Does it make any of you homesick?
On Monday we had our staff Christmas party. So. Much. FUN! We had Chinese and Italian food, fun games and lots of great conversation with some of the best people on the planet! 
I am so cute! Seriously. And that dress was fab.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I miss Malama Christmases.
yes! the first thing of thought of was bri and i laying on the floor in front of the fireplace coloring in our coloring books. we just wanted to be close to the tree!
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm not smiling, I'm still adorable. How did I do it? :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you did always have us dressed in the most gorgeous dresses.
Oh, and that picture of Malama Place Christmas makes me oh so homesick.
Wow-it all seems a lifetime ago! Your house was always so lovely at Christmas time. Actually-year round!
ReplyDeleteI remember Kara's dress very well. I wanted one just like it. But even more I wanted my hair to be perfectly slicked down like the Hallstrom girls.
ReplyDeleteHomesick indeed. Of course it doesn't take much these days. I miss Malama. I miss you.
ReplyDeleteEven Eve, Melissa and I have memories of Malama Place. I was so in awe of your Christmas trees but even greater in awe of the warmth of love in the home.
