Christmas at Red and Wathada's, 1997

My parents retired in 1997 and moved from California back to Michigan. They bought a house in Watervliet, and in December they had a family reunion/housewarming/Christmas gathering at their house at 339 Sutherland street. Here are some pictures from that occasion.

[Re: the variations in color of these pictures -- Some of them were scanned from paper photographs, and some were scanned from negatives. The scanner I used for negatives gave a blue-ish tint to all the pictures and I have tried various tricks to try to normalize the colors, with varying degrees of success.]
