I have to share this Breaux family tradition with you. In the 1950's my grandmother, Odette, bought her first born, Dennis Breaux, his first suit and her only daughter, Brenda Phillips, her first dress. Grandma had pictures taken of Uncle Denny & Nanny in their suit and dress. As Grandma had her next two sons they each took a picture in the same suit; this started the memorable tradition. Each grand kid and great grand kid has now taken pictures in this same dress or suit (depending if male or female). Keelie waited a little too long to have her picture taken, as you can see; the dress fitted her as a shirt. These pictures have so much meaning; the truck pictured is my grandfather's (Melvin) 1978 Chevrolet. My brother cannot wait to get his hands on this truck and restore it.
After taking the pictures in the family suit and dress we took a couple pictures of the cousins together.
