Characteristically, Mom is on the ladder decorating the top of the Christmas tree. Notice she isn't holding onto anything to keep her balance. She does appear to be wearing an apron. I am just grinning for the photographer. It probably never occurred to either Mom or Dad to reverse roles.
I keep noticing all that tinsel on Koch Christmas trees. The Hawkins family long ago abandoned tinsel for fear first the babies and then the cats would eat it. Besides, Chris could not stand to watch the girls hurl tinsel at the tree in huge clumps.
Legend has it that Mom was on a ladder painting the living room ceiling the day Richard was born. Given that he was born at 11:45 pm, that is probably true.
