Breaking out the old family albums is the staple of every holiday, and laughing at all the hilarious and outdated outfits your mom used to put you in. It’s easier to love the nostalgia of looking at your youth. But people re made their old family memories. Here are 40+ people we think hit the nail on the head!
A Very Happy Christmas
I think there’s something so awesome about that feeling of growing up Christmas morning, waking up and seeing good ol’ Santa brought you the toy of your dreams. This was one family member and they managed to perfectly recreate that joy.
It seems the sister got the dream present of Nintendo’s Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). If it wasn’t her brother’s impressive beard or his full set of adult teeth, it might have been impossible to guess that this was taken many years later.
Daddy’s Little Girls
Talk about a handful! These sisters have managed to keep their dad busy by recreating this adorable old family photo. While the two girls obviously couldn’t fit into the exact same clothes as their child selves, their dad managed to find an almost identical shirt!
Posting on Instagram, user @maitecenedesi said that opening the family photo albums felt like a range of different emotions, “Feeling the warmth of the sun…taken by the happiness that was experienced”. What a beautiful ode to a precious recreation!
Halloween Déjà vu
There are two types of people at Halloween — those who dress scary, and those who do not. These two are in the latter category, and not only that, but they’ve managed to dress up in matching costumes, too!
Reddit user, u/Jogoya, posted the image online of him and his sister recreating their first Halloween costumes 20 years later! There are so many cute details in the recreation, such as the spooky faces drawn on the bucket, and the cowboy’s brilliant attempt at matching his costume perfectly!
A Family Tradition
This adorable recreation sees the two sisters posing in complimentary pajama outfits. The first picture on the left was taken in 1991, whereas the updated version was taken 28 years later in 2019, and it really shows how grown up both girls have gotten!
Not only are the bottoms almost an exact match, but the sister on the left must have gone on several shopping hunts just to find a red cardigan that matches exactly. Soon enough, the girls will have another member of the family to join them for their next photo recreation!
Soccer Fans!
Nothing brings father and sons close quite like sports, and this adorable family is quite the example. It looks like over the 13 years that the boys have grown up, a lot has changed — but not the soccer team they all support!
u/lvcabral on Reddit stated that the first photo was taken with his kids in Recife PE, Brazil in 2005, and the second photo taken in Tucson, Arizona. It seems a lot has happened during that time, but dad is still sporting his lucky yellow shirt!
Under the Christmas Tree
This recreation is a mixture of perfect recreation, and a little bit of Photoshop magic. It’s almost impossible to get kids sitting down for long enough to take a photo, so this one must be a treasured family memory.
The recreation sees the trio posing in the same awkward way they did when they first celebrated Christmas together. The details are fantastic, with the youngest brother even managing to get the perfect shorts and sock combo. The photoshop background is a perfect pairing!
