Kids at Christmas.

How cute are these kids!

Christmas 1956, Texas.
From my personal collection,

L-R: Aunt Molly, Mum, and their cousins Jim & Mike.

December 1956 in Corsicana, Texas.

Mum was 23 months old, as she would have turned 2 at the beginning of January.

The 15th of December.

I was unable to post this yesterday because I was travelling.

Yesterday, the 15th of December 2012, was one year since my Great Uncle Curly died. He was an amazing man with a wide variety of interests - growing huge vegetables, inventing cleaning products & bee-keeping to name a few. He worked right up until the day he died. Funnily enough, the 15th of December 2012, marks four years since my Great Uncle Noel died. He was Uncle Curly’s younger brother. I didn’t know Uncle Noel, but I know he was a great man. I’m hopefully going to meet his wife soon. Uncle Curly & Uncle Noel were my Nannas' younger brothers.
