More Christmas pictures from childhood

Here is the sixth of the carousels of slides.

We have the rest of the pictures of us being photographed actually having fun. I still find that very odd but it's nice to see that we were allowed to be kids once in a while.

Then we have two Christmases with the Ramirezes, 1961 in Los Alamos then 1962 in California. In 1961 the blocks that the fortresses are still being made from arrive. I thought that the ones from 1955 looked chunkier than the ones that survive (but everybody else seemed to be sure that they were the ones so I kept my mouth shut). But 47 years (and counting) is an impressive lifetime for cardboard blocks.

Then the family is complete! Karen makes her appearance!

We even get a few pictures of Dad in this set. Blurry sometimes, but he's there.

could there have been two sets of blocks? where did the other go? was one the Ramirez's? Where was Dan when Steve and Nene showed up. Nice 55 shots. Glad to see that little Karen finally show her pretty little face

Thanks for these. I noticed the one where ;you and Carol were glaring at each other. She was a pretty little girl.
