I loved the Brady Bunch as a kid. When I was watching that show I knew that there was no way there could be a family like that. Not the fact that a man with 3 kids married a woman with 3 kids and they became a family, but that they were so good!!! I mean come on...not one screaming match with the sisters, not a fight over one sister wearing the other's clothes?? And the boys? Not even one fist fight? a punch? I grew up with 3 older brothers that at one time or another (and another) got into a fight. I have 2 sisters and though we've never been the kind to physically fight, we've had our share of "words". But I still couldn't wait to sit in front of the tv on Friday nights and watch it. I will take the old fashioned kind of show like that over any of the reality shows that are on now. I'd rather sit and be entertained by a fake family than watch fake people show you their "real" lives.
The card below is from Christmas of 2010 and though the kids are smiling in these shots I look at it and remember what was going on while taking the pictures. Explaining how to look up and down took a bit of time since none of them has ever seen The Brady Bunch and I doubt ever will. There was some drama! I'll always remember how my niece was so into taking the picture and following my directions and I think you can even tell by the expression on her face. The boys just wanted to get it over and done with as soon as possible. I remember her commenting on that when I took her pictures. She said something like I know I'm doing exactly what you said to do, I'm doing a great job and my brothers are doing it wrong. Seriously, look at the satisfaction in that beautiful little face. She was upping her brothers, not for the first time
I took pictures of the family in front of a blue painted, plain wall, trying to make it look as much like the old Brady Bunch intro I remembered and then added them together in a print program. This card was 2 sided, Happy Holidays on one side and New Year's on the other.
