Remember Whensday #28 - 1st Washington Christmas

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's Remember Whensday time again. Remember Whensday is a weekly meme dedicated to sharing your "old" photographs and memories. Old can be yesterday or yesteryear - you decide. I normally open up the meme each Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time, 1830 hrs hours UTC for Wednesday play through the week.

The "rules" are straightforward and simple.

This week, in keeping with a Christmas theme, I am remembering my first Christmas in Washington with my future husband and stepsons. We kept things simple that year with a small artificial tree.

I guess Karl thinks he's a Christmas present.

Ryan got a Walkman; obsolete technology these days. He also got some clothes and probably a silly gift. Karl got at least one shirt. I can't remember the rest.

Check out the silliness on these two!

Ryan & Karl

Josh got new shoes, pants and a drawing set. And a silly gift, of course!

Me, I got two little hand towels from my BFF back in Maryland. We always exchanged gifts with cardinal motifs since they are our favorite bird. You won't find cardinals in Washington state. Drats!

OMG, look at those high-waisted jeans I'm wearing! Oh, to be that thin again though.

It was the start of many great Christmases.
