As part of the birthday celebration, my parents put together a book with pictures and birthday wishes from Grandma's children and Grandchildren. We all got a copy of this book to keep for ourselves. Since we didn't go to the party, we got our copy in the mail sometime during the week last week. I looked at it for the first time with Alyssa and while looking at pictures on the first page, Alyssa says "Mommy, that's you."
What do you think? I thought it looked an awful lot like me too. But it was on the page with the pictures of Grandma in different stages of her life. Here is a picture of me to show the comparison.
When Danny got home that night and looked through the book, he says to me "You look just like your Grandma!" He even showed it to Ashley and asked her who it was and she said, "Mama." I never realized that I looked so much like Grandma Beth. I only hope that I can be as similar in character as I am in looks. Happy Birthday, Grandma! We love you!

That is amazing! You look just like her! You really didn't realize it earlier?
I'm sad that we missed the party, too. It sounds like everyone had fun. I had never noticed the resemblance before either but you definitely look a lot like her!
What a great book! I love family history stuff. You do look a lot like your grandma. That's funny that your kids see it so well too.
When your kids can't tell the difference, that means something!
WOW!! You do look exactly like her! Kinda cool that you get a glimpse into what you'll look like in 60 years too!! BTW- I totally recognized that picture of you :) Good ole Verdugo!!
Definitely a yes. I saw the pic of your Grandma before I read the post. I could tell it wasn't you, but thought that it looked an awful lot like you!!
I've been so blogger impaired lately. I feel like I'm so behind. Looks like you've been getting along just fine with me, though! :)
