ode to being cute 20 years ago
Monday, November 30, 2009 at 10:45AM Thanksgiving was wonderful! The theme of my visit home must have been nostalgia. We looked at old photos after dinner on Thursday and I have to say that us "Curley" cousins made cute kids! My cousin Annie is getting married next October so we were looking at all my aunts' wedding photos which led to other albums of us all in our 80's/early 90's clothing. Hilarious.
I did get to see my mom's side on Saturday evening and my grandpa brought over old family movies he recently started putting onto DVD. Only watched '89, I was four at that point. O-M-G was I a cute 4 year old, haha. I don't remember any of these particular holidays but I clipped some funny footage of me from the video my grandpa put together.
Sound quality is awful because I just used a free screen grabbing software but here is the gist of the video:
- Me greeting my great-grandparents on Easter in 1989
- More easter stuff, you'll notice I ALWAYS have chocolate in my mouth (clearly)
- Coloring, then arguing with my great-grandma (nana) that the crayon is not brown, but dark red instead
- Listing the colors of my ultra cool lady gaga socks
- Sticking my tongue out at Uncle Paul
- I was doing something funny in the sunroom/greenhouse
- Bouncing on my Aunt Heather's lap in another hot 80's lady gaga outfit
- My uncle Matt tells me that my stuff outside is getting wet, I then demand that he "make it dry" haha
- My mom's birthday as explained by me in a butterfly sweatshirt
- Counting the candles on my mom's cake (she was 26)
- Delegating who was to get what piece of the birthday cake (clearly)
- Opening presents with my grandma on her birthday
- The final clip is from my mom's birthday and my Uncle Vince had finger painted cake icing on my face LOL
I hope you have more footage, Grandpa! It is so cool to see what I was like as a kid. I was always a little Lady Gaga at heart. ;)
