Pictures are from the 1971 Christmas celebration at Mercy — this may have been the first that we had there.
Lots of kids, presents food, and clutter, and this hasn’t changed much over the years except for the number and size of the kids and the number and size of kids' kids. There is a group picture of all the grand kids at that time.
The last two pictures were taken on a visit with Tom and Kathy after Christmas -- Beth looks perplexed by all the boys.
