Hard to take a good picture with all those digital lights shining so brightly. You can hardly see the tree!
Check the look on long ago Latigo's face. It was the day before Christmas and no presents yet. Santa always brought them during the night back then. Money was scarce back then so all of the ornaments were made by Ma and the kids.
And not to forget Lizbeth's first Christmas with the St.Maries. Easily 80% of all the gifts under the tree were for her. Virtually all of her childhood Christmases were pretty bleak, but not after the St.Marie girls got ahold of her. She was so excited the night before after seeing her name on so many name tags that she couldn't stand it and got up at 5am. Lat heard her in the hallway and followed her down. Look at that smile. :Big Laugh
All of the ornaments were still the old homemade ones with a lot added over the years.
