Sisters - Christmas 1990

This is the third installment of embarassing photos from childhood. We're all dressed up for the Christmas Eve service at church. It was tradition to pose for pictures in front of the Christmas tree before going to church. I always loved the Christmas Eve service because we got to light candles at the end of it. There's nothing quite like having an auditorium full of people with only candles for light. It was beautiful and always touching. After church we would come home, change clothes, and eat a nice dinner. In the past few years that dinner has become homemade pasta, but I don't think it's always been like that. (...at least according to my memory.) After dinner, Mom and Dad would let us open one Christmas present. The rest of the presents had to wait until Christmas morning. The most memorable present I opened on Christmas Eve was underwear. Yep, my parents decided I needed underwear and that I should get it for Christmas. It was one of the only presents that I was surprised about. And what a surprise it was! It was a little disappointing at the time, but absolutely hilarious now.
