More Pictures from Christmas 1964

Do any of remember when this picture was taken? I am betting Daddy used the timer. Do you see mom's yellow curlers on the table to the right? Daddy made that table, didn't he? I know Sharon has the deer picture. Where did that come from? And the lamp with the man...is it from Korea maybe?

1966 Christmas Portraits

I think these pictures were taken at Christmas 1966 in Alexandria. (Tell me if I'm wrong!) These were the pictures daddy took and had on his desk in Vietnam.







If you want to see any of the images better, you can just click on it and will make it really big!! (Then you will see that I need to re-transfer them because there was some dust I hadn't noticed previously!)
Merry Christmas!

- lead icicles placed one at a time?
- an angel on top of the tree?
- our fancy tree skirt (a white sheet)?!
- the manger scene under the tree?
- the Christmas card in the front yard?
- boy scout socks for stockings?
- oranges & candy in our stockings?
- candy canes on the tree?
- pecan tassies & chocolate chip cookies?

Did you know:
- When we lived in Plattsburgh, NY Daddy spent several days picking apples to earn extra money for Christmas?

What are some of your Christmas memories?
