l-r: Florence & Lucille Hahn (daughters of Leora (Stewart) & Lincoln Hahn); Mildred Day (daughter of Eva (Stewart) & Wesley Day); Marvel Hahn (daughter of Ethel (Stewart) & Dan Hahn).

The Stewart Sisters had one brother - Freddie. Lincoln & Dan are brothers who married sisters Leora & Ethel making their children double cousins.

I'm guessing the dolls were Christmas presents. Marvel, our mother/grandmother, would've been 4 or 5 years old.
