Brainard Christmas Photos - 1994

This was the Christmas Greeting of the Brainards in 1994.

The children received the Sacrament of Confirmation in Cebu, Philippines, a kind of fast track deal since the US had so many requirements. They were in the Archbishop's Palace, confirmed with their cousins. The "dress-up photos" were for a wedding anniversary. There was a graduation too.

Stay tuned for more Brainard Christmas Pictures!
