Christmas 1959

Richard, Stephen, Peter, and Michael pose next to the Christmas tree in the dining room. I would imagine this icture was taken in 1959. I wish I could see the tree more clearly; I probably still have some of those ornaments. Is Peter holding his blanket?

All the boys seem to be sporting homemade haircuys. I rememer how thrilled Mom was when she got the buzzers that would enable her to save money on barbers and how frightening her first attempts were. I would have left home before I let her touch my hair:)

Our Christmas trees remain a mixture of tacky sentimental ornaments and more tasteful ones. Mom's ornaments have become more desirable since we can no longer tease her about them.
