Hair-Hogs: A Family Tradition


This is my oldest granddaughter,
with the most gorgeous head of hair.
Hair-Hog personified!



She's now 17 and likes her hair short.
Wouldn't ya know it?!



This is my second granddaughter.
She's now 13 and likes her hair long.



She always had a thing for hair.
Here she is wearing my mannequin wigs.





Here she is again - wearing her own hair.



This is my third granddaughter.
She's seven now.



She loves a good spiked-do.



And apparently, a bit of static-cling.



Can't leave out the only grandson!
He's six now. And has his hair in a buzz-cut.



My newest granddaughter.



She's 17 months now.
With a great head of hair - and smile.



Talk about great smiles and hair -
These are my four children, at a young age.



Here are the girls, showing off their little brother,
my oldest son.



He had the most beautiful head of hair.



Everywhere we went, people would pat him on his head!
And he would go from this...



To this.
He was not amused.
(I wouldn't be either.)



I love this picture.
Even the toy was hairy. :)



And this little girl?
Well, that's me.



I don't imagine my mother, or grandmother,
had a good time brushing that hair every morning.
I have a strong feeling they had to chase-me-down!



And it's still not a lot of fun to brush through!
(An old passport photo.)



Speaking of my mother -
here she is.
Not to be outdone, in the hair department!! ~~

  3. Gabriele, LOL-Our family has a lot of hair too! One of the commenters on my blog called us the Hair Bear family...lol I have a mop myself and I still struggle with the tangles in the morning. I was straightening it for the past couple of years but THAT is a real pain in the butt...so I am back to curly locks! Hairwise, we could pass for sisters...uh...well, either I have to dye my hair dark or you have to bleach yours! Love all the pictures of your family. You kids AND grandkids are beautiful...all that hair and all! Hugs- Diana

  6. What awesome heads of hair. Is "McDreamy" from Grey's Anatomy a relative? Loved the spiky look.

  7. My goodness me! A lot of hair is an understatement ...you sure have a lot between you all.

    Especially love those golden curls. They remind me of my boys eyelashes...so wasted on a boy. Well I think so cos mine are nonexistent and unless I mascara them they are invisible.

    Love all the food pics - makes me hungry just looking at them!

  12. Well, I would say that hair is definitely a family trait. I love the pictures of your family. And I want to thank you for visiting my blog "dittydots". I haven't been on it as much, but certainly hope to rectify that once Christmas is over. I need to find other things to bring to my "show-n-tell". Have a
    wonderful Christmas Gabrielle. Your silk scarves are out of this world fabulous.

  18. I love that first Grand daughter's head of hair... looks like she could have been a model for baby shampoo. Looks like the whole family inherited a great head of hair. Cute photos--I had a monkey just like that one in the photo of your son asleep--'Zippy' the monkey.
