Sadie Hardin and her sisters at Christmastime.
Hardin Babies
The Hardin family welcomed the first Hardin baby of the next generation last Friday, so it seemed fitting that this week's Family Friday post should be about Hardin babies.
Jonathan's father, Gregory Gerald Hardin.

Jonathan's grandfather, Gerald Dayton Harden, with his great-grandparents Dayton and Elzie Harden. Elzie would later divorce Dayton and change Gerald's name to Hardin.

Haze Dayton Hardin was born on Friday, November 7 at 12:44 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs. Isn't he perfect?

The two generations of first-born Hardin men. Pretty cool stuff!
The Yates Sisters
Jonathan's grandmother Sadie was blessed with a large family. She was one of eight children, and seven of the eight children were girls. Sadly, her sister Ernestine died as an infant, but the remaining sisters (Kass, Lois, Olivene, Martha, Sadie and Linda) were very close. Here are a few photos from their family gatherings over the years. There were some good genes in this family!
1960s family memories
There is something about the 1960s that gets me every time. It was a tumultuous decade, but it sure had style. Check out the below photos and see if you don't agree...
Fancy updos....
Shift dresses and atomic George Nelson-inspired clocks...
Aluminum Christmas trees, smoking in the house (!) and slim suits...
A time when you couldn't delete the outtakes...
Sweater sets and red lipstick for daytime...
Wood paneling. This was taken around 1960, so the 1950s influences were still very noticeable. Love it though!
