Tribute to My Dad! Just call us "The Peppers"

As babies, my sisters and I had a small "I'm a pepper" T-shirt that we wore around the house from the time we were like 9 months old until we outgrew it (around 2 or 3 years old). It of course matched the one our dad had. My dad is a recovering Dr. Pepper-holic, and by recovering I mean he drinks diet now!!!LOL Since he is just a few years older and is living a much healthier lifestyle now to keep him healthy! Anyway, I'm not to sure what happened to our matching shirts, but I am sure after 10 years of wear from the time they started me to the time my baby sister Christy wore it, it probably was worn out and time for the trash! When we were at the Dr. Pepper musuem what a better surprise for my dad than to get him a "I'm a Pepper" shirt identical to the ones we had! :) So to really add to the sentimental value of this shirt I got one for each of us girls and of course gotta make it a generational thing and got my son, Eli, one as well!!! We three girls and Eli put our shirts on and had Eli take Papa his shirt! I was hoping for a tear but that's okay dad I know you teared up in your heart!!! ;)
I tried to find the picture of me as a baby in the shirt but its still packed away from the move and cannot find it! So here are the present day pics of us in the new shirts!
I do not know how we got Eli to smile in one pic and not the other!?! Its hard to get a SUPER ACTIVE 3 year old boy to actually look at the camera and smile all at once!!! Suggestions welcome!
