In 1983 my Furniss grandparents gave all of us the indoor kind of
sleeping bags. Makenzie, who is a month away from being two years-old
here, got a Smurf sleeping bag. I used to snicker a little at my Mom's
over-the-top face in this photo, but now I get it. Kids don't know how
awesome something is until they see how awesome their parents think it
is, right? IT'S A SMURF SLEEPING BAG, GO AHEAD AND FREAK OUT! There
are other blogtastic things happening in this picture - Makenzie's
"bangs" starting at the back/ top of her head. (I think we should call
it something besides bangs at that level.) It's fun for me to see
Jennie and me in the background chillin'. My Mom always worked so hard
(still does) at making holidays memorable for us. Can you imagine
keeping track of what eight different children wanted? The pressure to
make everyone happy must have been heavy. Good job, Mom. :)

Also blogtastic: look how fashion forward you were with your jeans tucked into your cognac colored boots. :)
Thanks! Try adding twenty-five grandkids to the mix!
I remember the year I totally bombed on your Christmas- badly that on New Year's Day you said one of your goals for the year was to get good Christmas presents.
Love seeing our darling girls.:)
