Genetics
I think genetics is such an amazing thing. When my sisters and I were born...we were all bleach blond with blue eyes. Though our hair has darkened with age...either naturally or chemically...we have remained fair skinned. My Nana always prided herself in her "portuguese" grandbabies. I think she swore that my youngest sister looked more portuguese than the rest. My uncle(my moms youngest brother) had two children over the past few years. Reference pics below.
The first pic is my cousin Adrienne. The second is my cousin Audrey. They are such beautiful girls. They are my first cousins. My puzzlement is...for why are we so pale? Why cant we tan? Why dont we have big beautiful brown eyes? We are the same amount of Portuguese! Genetics is a very interesting thing to me. I am glad Nana got her "portuguese"grandbabies!
