Flashback Friday--birthday edition

Here are some pictures of birthdays from years past. I think this first picture is when I turned 6. I am just guessing this because my sister is the baby there are she was born in 1980. Don't you love the clothes?

Here is a picture of me and Matt when I turned 19. This was the big bow period. Don't ask me why.

Happy birthday! And thanks for holding on to tightly so I didn't fall in that first picture! And didn't I see that bow at your house or in a cabootle sometime in the recent past? I think Mattison wore it in her hair when she was dressing up like the girl on Napoleon Dynamite.

I love those 80's clothes in that first picture.

Happy birthday! I hope you are very spoiled today!

I also love the rugby shirt! I bet if you were standing up we would see the hunter green jeans and brown braided belt! Hope your b-day was fun!!

Hey Happy Birthday! Love the big bow--you need a banana clip though i think!!

Happy Birthday!
I totally remember the bow phase...the big ones that you could clip to anything...the bottom of a french braid, a pony tail!
You guys look SOOOOOO cute and soooooo young!

I want to know whose hand is sticking up behind you in the second picture. Have a very happy birthday! Stacey told me this morning that she remembered it was your birthday. Here Stacey, I am telling Kristen Happy Birthday from you too, but you still need to get a blog.

Do we still have all those bows, or did we finally get rid of them. Some of the ones that matched your outfits were fun to make, but I think your favorite ones were store bought. And, I wonder where all those little girls in your picture are today. Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope your day is a great one!

I am betting that it is Bryan's hand sticking up since Donovan would have been on his mission.

Totally had that rugby with the green jeans. Your bow is not really all THAT big considering the styles of the times! Matt looks about 12!

Hope you had a nice birthday, Kristen! I SO remember your big bow phase! Margaret's bows were big too. I looked at you girls, and I always thought, "When I'm a teenager, I'm gonna wear big bows just like that. I bet the boys love the bows! What was I smokin'? The boys could care less, I bet!

Love the clothes! I wish little girl clothes were still that girlie and modest!
