Take Time to Share Your Christmas Traditions: Childhood Christmas Photos

Go here to see the schedule of topics and links to previous weeks.

I have been looking forward to this weeks theme, Childhood Christmas Photos! I love looking at old photos and reminiscing about Christmases growing up. I had a lot of fun going through the old photos at my mom's house. Warning, lots of pictures...it was difficult to pick just a few :-)

My first Christmas: 8 months old

 I'm in my prefold and plastic cover :-) If you missed my other cloth diaper photo I posted the other day you can see it here. I realized that Ethan's love of Lambie must have came from me. Looks like I got a Lambie that looks very similar! 

 My second Christmas. I was really sick here.

 My own Sketchy Santa photo! Pretty sick huh?

 I still have the quilt and the cradle today!

My Strawberry Shortcake bike and another doll :-)

Another bike! This one I had for a long time and remember it very well.

This was my Grandad :-)

This is a pic of me and my sister at the 2nd apartment I lived in. I don't remember taking any pictures of my trees when I lived in my apartments so it was neat to come across this one! I believe I was 21 or 22 here.

Me in a Cloth Diaper!

I was at my mom's house this morning going through old pictures. I needed some Christmas photos for the upcoming post next week on my 'Take Time to Share Your Christmas Traditions' meme. I ran across this photo of me taken at 7 weeks wearing a cloth diaper! I had to share this. Gotta love those prefolds and plastic covers back then. My how cloth diapering has changed!

Does anyone else have photos of themselves in cloth diapers as a child?

Friday Photo Flashback #4

This photo wasn't taken too long ago, the summer of 2000. One of my friends got married and I was helping decorate the reception area. I'm posting this picture today for some motivation! I started counting points (weight watchers) again a couple of days ago. I REALLY want to get down to my goal weight. This picture is motivation for me since I was close to my goal weight. I don't remember my exact weight here, but I think I was about 10 to 12 pounds away from my goal weight I'm going shooting for now.

So here I was thin and tan!

Friday Photo Flashback #3

This is a photo of me (12) and my sister (5) with my first rabbit, Thumper, a mini-lop.

My Santa pictures growing up

My mom just sent me a couple of my santa pictures. These are so fun to look at!

My First Christmas

My Second Christmas. I was really sick with a stomach bug.

And my very own Sketchy Santa picture!!

My Halloween Costumes Growing Up

My mom was awesome to scan a few pictures of me in my Halloween costumes growing up to share with you.


I'm posting a MckLinky here in case you would like to join in on the fun. You can add pictures of when you were younger or pictures of your kids in their costumes! Happy Halloween!

Me as a Cabbage Patch Doll. I'm wondering why I didn't match my brother in a Smurfette costume!

Finally we got our act together that year. My brother is Charlie Brown & I'm Lucy! We are with a couple of our cousins. I'm trying to figure out who they are supposed to be...anyone know??

Getting ready to carve our pumpkins. Notice that my brother's pumpkin is twice as large as mine. Hmm, not fair lol

Me and my little sister.

Me, my sister and two cousins as Pilgrims.
