Sometimes the simplest memories come flooding back when we discover old family photos.

While visiting home recently, I was able to go through old family photos. I discovered this photo from the early 1970s.

Here I am with my older siblings, pre-Christmas, all dressed in our jammie’s and waiting on Santa. Our parents were smart; we all have the same stocking stuffer – a slinky! There was no fighting that way.

I loved my childhood. I was the baby and grew up with these three. Joe is the oldest. I always thought he watched over me, just like he is in this old photo. Then there’s Patty and Laura.

Most of all, I love the way Joe is watching over me. We are all a year apart in age, lots of girly giggling and our big brother rolling his eyes.

I totally dropped my slinky but still have a huge smile on my face. Great memories. ~shared by @bgmbreckenridge
