When my dad and aunt were growing up, my grandparents staged a Christmas card photo each year. They made as sign with a clever saying that went along with whatever pose they had come up with.
When my brother and I were growing up, my dad wanted to recreate these photos. Many were the same as the ones my grandparents had done; some were unique to our family.
The LA County Fair has a Flashback Photo contest. Ellie entered last year by recreating a Christmas picture my family had done. She earned a 1st place for it. She wanted to do it again, but his time do one that both my grandparents and my parents had done and include all three photos in her entry.
We procrastinated again and had to get the photo done during the week of VBS. My parents agreed to help us, so we headed over one afternoon when Dennis was done with summer school. My mom had the same tablecloth that was used in both of the old photos. We created an old ice cream maker with a trash can, construction paper, a pain roller and towel. And of course had to use a modern BBQ.
Here was our set
It took us a while to get serious about this whole thing! And we took a couple of dozen pictures.
Finally found one we liked. Hoping for a good result!
