Missing Moments
Since the blog was down over the holidays I didn't get a chance to share a family portrait that my sister sent out before Christmas.
It has the year '58 on it so I wasn't around yet.
Those are my older sibblings, Margaret, Ann, Jim & Brendan dressed for the Nativity!
My niece (the child of Margaret) replied upon seeing this - "My grandparents did this to their children?"
Well, Irish Catholics in the 50's after all.
Not much of that after I arrived. Still had the practice of making homemade Christmas ornaments and wearing matching Easter outfits however.
My mother believes that Brendan is shouting, "Hark!"
