An Easter snapshot dated "Apr 1961."
The boy is holding his toy Easter bunny up above his head, and the woman has a pair of sunglasses and a purse (I thought at first that it might be a camera case) in her left hand. What appears to be a garden hose is snaking its way through the lower left-hand corner of the photo.
For a better view of the family, see the cropped version of the photograph.

"Greetings from the Four Bakers."
This is a photographic greeting card with photos of the heads of the Baker family -- a mother, father, and two boys -- superimposed over drawings of their bodies. Given the family name, it's not surprising that mom and dad are wearing aprons, mom is holding a rolling pin, and one of the boys is holding a pretzel. All of them are wearing chef's hats.
The card is blank on the other side, and there are no additional details to identify the family, their location, or the date of the card. I'm not even sure that the Bakers used this as a Christmas card, but that's my best guess.
