Flashback Friday: Christmases past

Happy Holidays! Guess I'm getting in under the wire for Flashback Friday! Thanks Janetha for being the brain-child/adult for such a fun concept!

First of all, one of my fave prezzies that Santa brought for me (yes, I still believe), were these mugs...Had to share.

That foam has serious altitude.


This lovely girl started the craze. OK, so far the craze consists of me and her, but it's always good to be at the forefront of such things.

Without further ado, I present...SmoothieGirl of Christmases Past...

First some old school stuff:

Baby Steven (my bro) & me


Mom & Steven



Steven, Junior & Bamboo (the Labrador trapped in a pit-bull's body)



Ya think Steven is "stuffed"?



Mom & me 2001. My "tomboy" stage


Samantha~ 1997... No patience- just ripping her prezzies open. Sigh.



Samantha & Charlotte (heart)= best prezzies ever



Princess?? Uh... YEAH.


Next stop: Great Britain, the hub's birthplace


The Hub's familia. Shifty looking bunch. ~ 2005/6


Same shady characters, different year.


Deb with her hub's nieces in 2005/6 who are now 6' tall statuesque beauties.



With friends, Steve & Carol & family... in Crawley, UK



This photo has nothing to do with Christmas except that Carol proudly displayed this calendar on her wall during our visit. She is totally in love with Cliff Richard. Do you know who he is?



My good buddy/college room-mate Leigh in 2006. Believe it or not, she also hearts Cliff Richard!! What are the odds!


I couldn't look at the camera because I was addicted to Bejeweled. I blame Leigh (above). She's the one who got me started. Grrr.



Domestic partners? NO! It's Leigh's Hub JIM on the left and my hub DEREK on the right. They cooked an entire Christmas meal for us- KEEPERS!


Part of the familia-2006.
Derek, Deb, Steven, Aunt Rhoda, Mom


With the familia 2007. Yes, I was wearing clothes, my hair was long, and I was thinner. Just in case you were wondering.



2007-The "Boys"




That's Derek's hand making a hand-puppet toward the strawberries.



Steven & Tofu 2008.

Here's wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season!

Deb

Merry Christmas, Deb! LOVE the mugs! I'd seen them as posters but never in mug form. Brilliant.

I flashed for Janetha today too. It was a no brainer for the holiday!

Off to the New Year .....

Carbz- I searched for your blog- it was tough to find you! :-)

Em- I look like a different human being each time- it's weird! Glad I'm not the only one

Eduardo- I have no idea what you said, but thanks for de-lurking. Hope there aren't any naughty words in there :-)

"Deb with her hub's nieces in 2005/6 who are now 6' tall statuesque beauties."--love this pic and yes, skylar is headed that way i think as i am nearly and my family is tall and she's as tall as 5 yr olds at 2, well now shes almost 3

and the backless shirt photo of you in 07 with your longer hair (thinner or not irrelevant) you look smokin! It's that little sassy twinkle in your eye, too :)

Thanks for all the lovely comments youve left about motherhood and me, and some of the photos Ive taken w/ Skylar. It's been fun posting them b/c I Realize at home i only post food, yoga, and the occcassional pic. Though here Ive been posting more "daily life" shots and it's been fun!

Merry Xmas Deb!!!!!!!!!!! Loved these pics and hope you're have a great time!
xoxox

PS will def be publishing your g. post on Tuesday.

Aww, I loved seeing all the photos!! I totally forgot about Flashback Friday, too caught up in the excitement of my new camera ;) I'm definitely a fan of the photo with the paper hats, and Bejeweled is SO addicting.

Merry Christmas Deb!!

andygoose said...

Great pics! The Ghost Of Christmas Past has been good to you!

Hope you and the hubs have a great New Year!

Mallory said...

love all of the flashback Christmas pics!
firstoff - isn't cliff richards a british rocker from awhile back? what a stud...
second - after seeing your giveaway for Heab's anniversary, i got a wee bit ambitious and i tried making some homemade nut butters... and well, my food processor may or may not have died in the process. i don't know what i did wrong! any ideas? also... any chance i could buy a few jars of your delicious homemade nut butters? (i'm actually serious, but if you say no we can just pretend that i was joking...?)

hope you had a great Christmas!

Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) said...

What's up with Eduardo? ;)

You're so pretty Deb..in all the pics, and Derek ain't so shabby himself!

Glad you brought back Flashback Friday. Been missing them.

Who is Cliff Richard?

Will you please come over and make me some foam for my morning cup o' joe????

*Naomi* said...

LOVE seeing pics of your family from past xmas's!! hope you had a great time and got lots of goodies!!

Lara (Thinspired) said...

Awww...Merry Christmas, Deb! I believe, too ;) Looks like Santa did good this year! Complete with sprinkles, too?!

I love your FF photos. Little Deb is so cute! I've gotta get my scanner in action and do the same. You and your bro seem so close. That makes me happy :)

Hope you had a wonderful day :)

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) said...

Mallory! I'm so sorry about your food processor- RIP. I do have thoughts- too many for the comment section and it would require back n forth communications- if you leave your email here in comments I'll email you about it.

Re. buying nut butters. Gosh, I really am flattered but I don't think that it would make financial sense. I think they would end up being ridiculously expensive just buying the nuts and mailing them. Like $15+ per jar? Not worth it!

Lara and everyone who has old school photos- we used ScanMyPhotos.com and it rocked the house. Hubs just told me we sent them 4000 for my Mom's albums after she passed away and 6000 for ours!! They came back on disks and now we have them all on the computer- so fabulous!

Mallory said...

ah yes, twas a sad day :(
I'd love to hear if you have any advice though!

thanks Deb!

Pretty sure you're just wearing pasties in that one naked back photo. I thought this site was only food porn!

Mugs are so cute.

Hayley said...

Merry belated Christmas Deb! I'm so sorry I'm behind on your blog...trying my best to catch up!

I LOVE this flashback Christmas post! You were such a beautiful little girl! And you're still gorgeous now so no changes there. :)

Do you guys still do Christmas crackers? We do them every year as a family and we all wear those goofy hats, too..hehehe....

Buckingham Palace looks AMAZING!! That is so darn cool!

Great post!

Hayley said...

I KNEW there was something I was forgetting...thank you for putting up those adorable pics of Samantha and Charlotte!! They're so cute...curious little critters just like our cats! I'm not sure who was photographed more this year - Minnie & Louise or my family and I!

Bekah said...

I think I may just have to jump on the mug train.. and I do not mind following any trend set by you and Lara. :)

Next year... Flashback Christmas 09, BLOGGER MEET UP!

(As you can see, I'm like four posts behind again. GAH.)
