My cousin, Caroline, is celebrating her birthday today. This is a photo of one of many celebrations we have shared together. Lillie, her mom, is holding the birthday girl here. You blog followers might recognise this as the Lillie of Living Life with Lillie. Once again our grandmother and mothers pulled out all the stops to entertain us.
Here we are gathered in a kitchen to share a meal. Jimmy has taken over the high chair and Caroline is forced to sit in a chair much bigger than she. I don't remember even having a booster chair.
Caroline is on the back row being held by cousin Lindsey. She is in the white dress. Caroline was the youngest and so cute. We wagged her around all the time. This was the kind of happy gathering we remember from our childhood. There is Sassy holding a child as she always was. Caroline and Sassy loved each other and had a very special relationship.
Once again Caroline being mauled by cousin Lindsey. The red indicates maybe Christmas. We were a happy lot. So many memories of Caroline.
Caroline and cousin Paula mugging for the camera at cousin Lindsey's wedding.Caroline has been a part of all of the most important occasions in my life and some of the not so important. She is bright, beautiful and accomplished. She never fails to make me laugh.
Here is a toast to Caroline and our many happy times to come.
I am sitting here looking at these pictures with Lillie, of Living Life with Lillie, aka my mom. She made the comment that surely she had not left us at a table set with Haviland china, alone. But on closer inspection, it is, in fact, Haviland china. She said she is not sure she would leave us alone at a table with it now ... lol.
ReplyDeleteThat is the sweetest Birthday post, Rebecca.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, I know it made your day.
Crying happy tears and sweet memories. What a wonderful way to show what a terrific childhood we all had. I know Caroline felt extra special on her day!
