Christmas with the Scholten cousins--1962

These is the Scholten cousins but we are at my Dykstra grandparents as they had the big house on our farm, and there were way too many Scholtens to fit in our little house. (This photograph has about half of kids that were there that night.)

Beth is the one sobbing in this picture--Janna holding her. I'm the blonde second from the right, with my finger on my mouth. I was 4 1/2 years old. I remember this night--very cold. And Janna got that great pink mixer. Mom made the pajama bag cat my cousin Elaine is holding.

The chair on the left is now in my living room!
