Little Sister's and Cousin's Birthdays


Today is Darlene's birthday and in two days it is our cousin Evelyn's birthday. The story is that since all their grandchildren were boys our grandfather offered $10 for the first granddaughter. After this Darlene was the first granddaughter born just 2 days before Evelyn. They have continued as close as sisters all their lives. In the upper picture they were pretty cute in their matching outfits likely under 2 years old. Then in the lower picture they are about 7 years old.

Happy birthday little sister and cousin!

It was $100, as I recall.
Happy birthday, "Girls".

The first picture was taken at your house and the second at the farm. Their birthdays marked the beginnning of lilac time most years.
