Throwback Thursday

My friend Candy does a fun thing called "Throwback Thursday" where she finds an old picture to post on Thursdays. I've been meaning to join up, and am finally attempting it!! Here is our Christmas picture from 2004...one of my FAVORITES!!!!

We got a package in the mail a few days after the Red Sox won the World Series from our friend Rae Ann...she had bought Championship t-shirts for all of the kids!
My friend Ellen found a way to make money from one of her talents & made her own business. She sent me a card with this picture on it and it is one of my MOST favorites!!!!! This is at the victory parade after they won the series...it was such an AWESOME year! (for all of you non-baseball fans...the Red Sox' biggest rival is the NY Yankees...Jeter was their #1 player & Manny was one of the Sox top dogs. He is holding the sign & it is PRICELESS!)

History (because you just HAVE to understand how fantastic this was!): They hadn't won a World Series since 1918 (you know after they sold Babe Ruth & everyone claimed they had a curse on them) & they were playing the Yankees for the AL Championship and had lost the first 3 games in the series & were behind 4-3 in the 9th inning. They came back and were the first to win a series by coming back from a 3-0 deficit & then swept the Cardinals in the World Series.
