Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories - December 13 - Christmas Photo Memories

I've fallen hopelessly behind but decided to make it up by publishing 65 years of Christmas pictures. I'll try to put them in some sort of order. It won't exactly be wordless but the captions will be brief.

Christmas 1951. Joel's 2nd Christmas and John's first. No pics from
1950 as Mom was in the hospital with John, born the day before.

Almost Christmas 2015 - me with two of my granddaughters
