Moms and dads are notoriously hard to shop for when the holidays come around. Most parents say they don’t want anything at all. When the mom of these brothers said she only wanted a nice photo of all three of them, they grabbed the chance to do a little recreation. Rather than recreate any old photo, they went straight for the heartstrings and recreated their mom’s favorite photo of them from childhood. And wow, did they absolutely smash it.
They went the full nine by having the recreation done in an actual studio and managed to wear similar outfits. The best part though is those faces that perfectly match the ones from 20-plus years before. What a perfect gift from three great sons.
A Little Heavier
They say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and that definitely explains this photo! The first one, taken back in February 1985, shows a proud, albeit tired new dad holding his newborn baby while he has fallen asleep. It’s a tender moment.
Fast forward 34 years later to February 2019, and that baby has grown into basically a clone of his dad! They both have impressive beards. They’ve both covered their sleeves in tattoos. And yet, they still sleep on each other after all these years. Though it appears that the father is starting to feel the pain of his son’s weight.
Santa Still Isn't Thrilled
No matter your age, you can always ask Santa Clause for something. Whether it is a toy car, a real car, candy, clothes, or money. You are never too old to hit up old Saint Nick, and if you haven’t done it in a while, he probably owes you.
It is no secret that Santa is a real person in those shopping mall pictures you always used to take during holiday time. But here it looks like Santa is fake. How else would the big man be able to hold two other big men on his knees? Well, he does fly around the world in one night with flying reindeer and sliding down chimneys with sacks of presents, so maybe he has super strength, too?
Same Girl, Different Bottle
This family makes sure to always be on-trend. You can tell by the floral curtains and mustache that were all the rage in the '80s. The same thing goes for the love in the parents' eyes, that's one thing that never goes out of style. You just know that the baby girl was the most fashionable girl in daycare.
As it turns out, she grew up with a great sense of humor as well. We wouldn't be surprised if she got that from her parents too. This photo recreation, almost 30 years later must have been the perfect Christmas activity, and the wine bottle was the icing on the cake.
A Nice Family Portrait
Although a lot of these pictures are of children as adults, we do love seeing the entire family getting involved in recreating these awesome photos. The picture on the left is of a proud dad with his three sons, all wearing their best clothes it appears. This is clearly a photo that should be recreated. Give them credit for getting all of the details in the photo correct in the picture on the right.
All the details are there, from the boys' clothes, with the son on the right in particular, to the youngest brother trying to get his dad to hold him. Nearly an exact match! Probably had the mom help get all of the exact details for the clothes correct because, let’s face it, she probably dressed them in the original too.
