Leigh Bale's Husband in disguise--or is he? |
This is one of those special moments when four generations pose together. I think you'll recognize one of them, right?
This is Louise Gouge's family Christmas portrait. They look like a happy bunch!
When I saw Leigh Bale's husband dressed up as Santa, I was reminded of my first Christmas with my husband. He was the last minute replacement for Santa at the church children's party (with a pillow added.) Anyway one little girl sidled up to me and whispered in my ear, "I won't tell anyone but that's your WIFE!" One of those precious moments--as I agreed with her that he indeed was my wife.
Do any of you have similar memories--little funnies that brought a smile and still linger in the memory?--Lyn
Thanks for sharing Love the angel in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteI feel sad in a way that we never had a christmas photo taken of the whole family before dad died and really none til my brother was married with a couple of children and thats just eating Christmas lunch.
I always say make sure you take a family photo with everyone in it. If the baby is 6 weeks old and asleep pick her up to be in the photo (ok thats my issue with the family ones we had when I was 6 weeks old). I only have two photos with dad and that was when I was a baby, and there was 2 of mum and I when I was 2. Not one of the whole family and then no more with mum until I was an adult. Sorry to hijack the thread but its very important that all kids have a family photo.
I'm enjoying all these fun photos.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm still giggling over what that little girl said to you about Santa being "your wife"! Too cute!

Oh I do have a funny. here we have candles in candlelight in the park before Christmas. many years ago the then pastor had 2 young kids who we sort of adopted. His wife was in the choir so I was helping look after them with him. I had his daughter in my lap and he his son. When I say candle light we used candles. Well the community gets to sing While Shephards watch there flocks by night well Shannon had his program a little close to the candle and it was going up in flames. I was about to comment when I just started blowing got the fathers attention and we got it out quick. For a long time I could not sing that song with a straight face.
ReplyDeleteGreat story, Jenny. Glad it ended without incident.
ReplyDeleteCatMom-I still smile at my "wife" too.
And Jenny, you're right. I have been derelict in not learning to use the new digital cameras but I'm getting better!
