From MorMor's Journal - More 1986 Pictures


 I'm sure these pictures with Santa were taken at the mall - either in Squamish or Vancouver.
I know this was one of our 'poorer' years, because the dresses are not new.  We were so thankful for our Squamish Household Assistance Recycle and Exchange (SHARE) in our church, where they could find good second-hand clothing.  I think we started it partly because of the economic situation in our town, and partly because as parents we saw our kids growing out of clothing very quickly, and needed a way to pass it on, as well as to get 'new' clothing for our kids. I was part of the team that started it, and was the one who got to do the initial sorting when stuff came in. 

Einar was a volunteer firefighter the last 7 years that we lived in Squamish, and I think this was at the fireman's Christmas party. 

Puzzles at Christmas were part of our tradition.  Here we are working at it with Auntie Sue and Paul.



Sandland family picture.  Apparently pink was the color of the year... and I'm not wearing it.
