Christmas Memories from 1982

Wow, that really seems like a long time ago. This was the very first Christmas that I remembered. Maybe it's because we got so much stuff, but it could also be because these are the first and only Christmas pictures we took growing up. These were my favorite toys. My mom and I lived with my grandfather, her two brothers and sister and my 3 cousins. Please never mind the fact that I'm in my undies with a t-shirt on with house shoes.

Snoopy was the man back in the day. Looks like we all got a snoopy stuffed animal. Wonder what happened to them. See that cement truck down in the bottom right corner of the picture? I remember many-a-day of playing in the dirt in the backyard with it.


I believe this is later on that day after I finally put on some clothes. How do you feel about that sweater.

Me and my cousin Reather acting silly for the camera.

Dude! I so remember this little train toy. Kinda like some conveyor belt type action.

Still opening gifts.

Appears that I'm pouring a spot of tea from my cousin's tea set while Keisha plays with her doll.

Reather playing with what I thought was MY snoopy Simon Says toy.
