the party.

Helping make the pinwheels for Aunt Netra's party in December. Appa taught me the concept of "assembly line". My role was to 1) Applying Cheese and 2) Quality Control.

Helping Mommy with the ornaments.....

It was an effort getting the tree erect, now we have
to hang the ornaments...!

They said they were from Missouri...

We went to buy a Christmas tree at a lot near
Frisco downtown.

It was great fun to see them getting ready, and to be part of
that experience...

who still remembers me!
