I think my youngest brother would have been at least as tall as me, if not over 6' and one cousin was about 6'3". I surely miss them, especially around the holidays.

It's funny that she cut off your head since it was so important to get the carpeting in the photo! That's just one of the best thing about old photos. Such sweet memories and I adore the last one where the cousins are stacked by size. I think we need to recreate that ourselves this year. {{Hugs}} and Merry Christmas to you and your family. ~smile~ RoseanneHome Sewn By Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943739387560629258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-39445444254920690682020-12-16T15:30:19.317-06:002020-12-16T15:30:19.317-06:00You Gradys must have had some FUN holidays!!

The "stairstep" picture of you and your cousins brought back so many memories, because my parents always took a picture of all of us kids arranged just the same way. I hated it when I was a kid, but now they are really sweet pictures.

How wonderful of your grandma to make matching nightgowns and the pictures of you and your sister, butts going up the stairs - priceless. I would take those older photos and revel in them. A treasure trove, for sure. <br />Do milk men even exist anymore? We had one when I was very little. How cute to take a picture celebrating the eggnog! Love this post!
