Visitors, and Christmas.
We're all eating candy, and other sweets. ...and looking at whatever Marion is about to unwrap. She looks pretty certain that it's going to be taken away by the brothers!
The Christmas tree at home on the red box! ...that's Paul van Deursen.
The Christmas tree at home on the red box! With Jim and Marion!
"Bring Your Own Red Dress" events, actually... That's Cor Poland. I think it's a different party, as the food is different...
Another Christmas tree, that's not on the red box... Is that Doreen playing a harmonica?
Party time! Feb 1966, the 12.5 year "copper" wedding anniversary, that is celebrated in Holland.
Look at all that Chinese take-out! I think it's Mrs Roodbol and Mr Boersen on the right... On the left it's the Reumkens, in the middle is Mr. Versteeg. These parties were quite rowdy...
With lots of cards, and lots of opened house-ware gifts, some from Holland....
Summertime, and on the ferry! On the way to Quadra then Cortez Island...
That's Mr. van Deursen, with Marion, and John van Deursen in the wheelbarrow. That looks like Vancouver Island in the background, and they are on Quadra Island.
I remember being unhappy and uncooperative, but it wasn't about the short pant-legs. Anyway, all the important family members: Jim, Ken, John, Don, and the cedar bush...
