Phewww… Made it to Thursday. It’s been a long week, and I’m excited to share this installment of Throwback Thursdays! Today’s edition brings you a small collection of photos that give you a glimpse into the ’90s, Dean-style. I’m one of those people who still has 1996 or 1997 come to mind when people say, “Remember ten years ago when…..” Haha, I still have trouble believing that ten years ago is 2003!

The ’90s were a fun time for the Deans. Four of the us seven kids were born during that decade! I have so many wonderful memories from those years, and looking through photos like these make me tear up, thinking how crazy different life is now. (It’sgreat, just different.)

Before getting into photos, here were some of our favorite pastimes during those years…… Remember any of these?

Aaaand in the world of photos…….

Playing in the snow was difficult in those days when your legs struggled in anything higher than four inches… (and yes, those are plastic deer in the background… we loved them).

Clark became a big brother in 1996 when Tori was born!

Twins in sucking our fingers…..

I loved these summer days. Despite only being five or six, I remember those summer nights in our old house, playing outside until sunset….. never lacking playmates!

Beach vacations at the Outer Banks… Not a care in the world.

Ah yes, attempts at the family photo……. Always a challenge.

Yet some things never change……

Most recent photo of ALL nine of us, from a few summers ago. So blessed.

What are some of your favorite memories from growing up? (No matter what decade it was!) Leave comments! I’d love to hear. 🙂 Happy Thursday!
