No love like family love.

17 years ago...17 years later...

I love family gatherings. Besides awesomely awesome food, games, stories, movies... families often reminisce and look through old photos and videos. Today was my cousins birthday and we found a photo of us from 17 years ago, what better way to celebrate than to re-create that shot? 
I'm not quite sure why we're posing this way but it sure makes for an epic photo. haha! In front are my 3 cousins and my brother and I in the back. The photo from today doesn't look quite as good as we aren't in the same height order anymore... the boys have caught up to me!!! ;P 
p.s - dontcha just love my glasses complete with string to make sure it doesn't fall on the ground? haha!
What is your fave part about family gatherings?

Awkward Family Photos

At the beginning of this week, I decided to kill time at the bookstore during my coffee break. I ended up having a great laugh when I came across the Awkward Family Photos book.

It kinda reminded me of my awkward younger years. At the age of 6, I had to start wearing glasses (probably because I read in the dark, and played tamagotchi on the train constantly) and at that time, what was "in style" were the big huge circular eyeglasses. Not gonna lie, i was even a bit of a tomboy.

Check it out, i've even got the boy swag going on, sporting my big circle glasses WITH stings attached might i add! Those were to make sure I didn't drop them on ground if they accidentally came off. Check out the other girls in the background - cute, girly, mary jane shoes.. but me? You can't see it but I'm wearing boy black shoes.
Now it's your turn! Let's see a picture of you from your awkward years!
