Gift exchanges too! From left, Patty, Bill, Judy, Jim (Patty's dad, only partially in picture) and Randy's two girls, Megan and Caitlin, seated on the floor.
From the dining room, that's Bill standing on left, back to camera, then the blur sitting on Bill's right is Judy. In the back is Barbara (Patty's mom) and Jim, and seated in the foreground is Matthew (right) and Simon.
An interesting toy! Megan is holding the "winder upper", which holds one of the tops. As the tops spin, they have flashing lights, which create interestng patters, depending upon the speed of rotation. Then the trick is to stack them one on top of the other - there are three stacked in this photo.
A very formal pose! Left to right: Lee, Bill, Judy and Ray. Lee and Ray are Bill's sons.
Earnest discussion! Left to right: Lee, Bill, Judy, Ray, Barbara, Jim and Randy's legs.
The "youngsters" at play in the family room.
The large, very nicely decorated, Christmas tree, with Bill and Judy.
Sproing! This clock is made of many springs! It's truly fascinating; there are wire stick figures in the bottom, front corners (visible if you know what to look for), and one who rides up the spring in the support column, and then drops down. Click for clock detail images.
A Sunny Christmas Day
