Found this old photo amongst the photos my Mom has saved.
The year was 1981.
Christmas at my parents home at the Resort. Mom put the tree in the same corner every year.
My Dad at age 55 is in the photo with three of his grandchildren. Trica, Jen and Kirk. Trica was 9 years old, Jen was 6 years old and Kirk was 1 year old ( Kirk belongs to my baby brother and his bride). You can tell that Jen was in first grade as she has lost her front teeth.
I don't know what my Mother was thinking when she picked out the carpeting! Tinsel remains on the tree...as many mentioned yesterday in their comments tinsel was saved from year to year. It was collected strand by strand and put over a piece of cardboard to use again the next year.
