Judging by Aunt Ethel's lovely corsage (I secretly love those), I'd say this was a Christmas family dinner at the home of Ada and Bill Alcott -- Grandpa Carroll is there in the back on the right.
Santa Uncle Chet holding little Claudia, so 1952:
Not sure if this is a Christmas picture, but I meant to include it yesterday anyway -- wee baby Janet makes this 1952 as well:
Baby Claudia looks to be about 3 months old here, right, so this is probably December 1952 and Cousin Susan is carefully watching over me and playing with my toys!
I would love to have this tablecloth - Leonard, Claudia and father William Alcott:
Carving the Christmas bird - and I am rocking the tiara and Sally Star cowgirl outfit. Oh, and the purse, too.
I think this is also Santa Uncle Chet -- with Susan, Claudia and Claudia.
Same corner, a year later, and Santa has new glasses -- Janet, Claudia, George, Carole and others.
My brother Doug, so this is 1955:
At the Humphrey home and some of their very cool trainboards:
Doug and me on a Christmas Eve:
Our parents made us get washed, dressed and hair combed before we could walk down that hallway Christmas morning! Pure torture!!
Uncles Carl and Bill Alcott.
Eek!!
I understand that Doug and his boys have just reconditioned this same trainboard that our Dad made.
This is Jim and Claudia's first Christmas together -- could we look any more 1970's??
Here are my boys, Jamie and Joshua, probably 1981:
Santa Uncle Morrie visited Lois and Doug's home to see Jamie and cousin Patrick:
Patrick and Jamie (dressed alike once again!).
Santa Uncle Jack and Elf Cindy.
Santa Uncle Morrie with my boys and their cousin Dougie.
Cousin Alicia Bruce, playing with the Matchbox vehicles.
Lois with my brother Jeff's kids, Elaine and Cole.
A few of Lois's grandboys.
Jeff's daughter Elaine playing in her kitchen.
One of MY favorite Christmas past pictures.....
