Baby-Sister did you know I got my first camera around the time you were born. On the back of this photo I have written in my best penmanship – Holly 24th of July parade 1981. This how I know I was 14, and you are not yet one.
You are almost 3 years old in this photo which I did not take. We drove all the way to Show Low for this one to be taken at the Sprouse-Reitz store by a traveling photographer. Where I forced Little- Sister to wear matching sweaters with me, and she has loved me ever since.
We loved you too, our little Baby-Sister. We loved to dress you up, and do you hair, and sent you to your first prom at the age of four.
You know if it wasn’t for me you would be named Margaret . Sorry to all the Margaret’s out there, but when Pappa said, “should we name her Margaret or Holly?” I quickly glanced at your tiny baby face and knew my job in this life would be to protect you, and raise you right. Sweet little baby Margaret, I mean Holly.
And look how well you grew up.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY-SISTER!

Holy Crap do I feel OLD!! I remember when she was just a tiny little thing. Sisters are the BEST! Happy Birthday Holly!!!
So your 14 years older then me lets see that makes you.... Just kidding I love these pictures of me they are so adorable Thanks to my older sisters that that took care of me until they all left and left me home with two brothers that didn't know how to do hair.
No wonder i liked boys i went to prom at such a young age what was to be expected
We can do hair just fine. Take a pair of clippers and buzz it short! Otherwise put it into a ponytail. Val please notice the LTD in the top shot. I told you that it was the vehicle we drove to Show Low in when Holly was born. Thanks Jen your pictures solved our mystery.
