Like most Fridays for me, today has been relaxing. If you know me, you know that family is very important to me. Sometimes I get in these moods where I love to look at old pictures. Not pictures of me, but pictures of my family. Today was one of those days. My grandmas have given me so many pictures of my family. I have pictures of my grandparents when they were kids, when my grandparents were dating and my parents wedding pictures. I absolutely love looking at them!
My mom and dad's wedding
This is a frame I have on our book shelf.
The top left is my dad's dad, the one below it is my great grandma (Granny) and great grandpa,
the top right is my mom's dad and the one below it is my cousin and I at a Christmas thing at our church (we of course were being goofy.)
This is my dad's dad
My grandparents have also given me things over the years that mean a lot to me. For example, I have one of my grandpa's harmonicas, I have some unique jewelry (which I do wear), and I have two of my great grandma's aprons. I could definitely see her all June Cleaver with the pearls, heels, and apron!

This was my granny's chair. I loved this chair from the moment I saw it. My granny and granddad re-upholstered this chair. It now sits in our bedroom.
I have a lot of my grandmas' and great grandmas' jewelry. I have even made some rings and necklaces out of their old earrings. My grandma always tells me it is just junk, but to me it is treasure!

Of course there are so many more pictures I could show you! Are there things about your family that you treasure?
