I can't remember if I've ever shared the story of what our family calls "The Infamous Green Jacket". Oh what a story it is!
But first, let's see the starting point of this story, as shown on my Family Photo Fun layout below.
It all started on an Easter Sunday. We walked into church to see our mother sitting at the piano and wearing...what a minute! What is that? What is wrong with the collar? She looks like a cabbage patch kid still growing in the garden. Why is it inflated!? Is the collar like those blow up t-rex costumes? Does she have a hidden air compressor in the pocket?
Disclaimer: Trust me...we show love in our family with jokes, insults, and sarcastic comments. And, our mom's interesting fashion choices are often the topic we enjoy poking fun at the most. She takes it well too and often laughs heartily with us.
It was after this day that we decided to plan a heist and hijack that green jacket and use for a Christmas present idea. What if we took a picture of all the kids in the family in that one jacket and then used Photoshop to put it all together? And that's just what we did...
When she opened up this photo (complete with fancy frame) she laughed hysterically for a solid five minutes. It was seriously one of THE funniest moments of my life. And it now actually sits in that frame on display in her house.
There's always been talk of when we will do this again with another one of her questionable choices!
It was hard to make the Family Photo Fun layout without giggling as I was putting together and remembering this moment.
