Carl, Jr., Terri, Helen, and Carl Holm are sitting on the sofa in Victors living room on Christmas Eve. Mrs. Richter is standing at the left, and Pete and Curt Baker are on the floor with their heads bowed in the corner of the photo.
The glass-paneled door behind Mrs. Richter is one of the French doors that were normally closed to shut off the living room from the rest of the house. On the wall are a large oval photo from Victor and Fridas wedding, a rectangular photo showing their home in Port Wing, Wisconsin, an ornamental glass barometer, and a flock of blue bird figurines.
