Major General Chester Victor Clifton Auction

Recently there was an auction of JFK materials that were in the possession of Major General Chester Victor Clifton.  Some photos of the material were online.  Some are photos we have seen before.  Several are of the Kennedys celebrating Christmas in Florida in 1962.

wife Rose Kennedy is seen standing behind him.  

 I believe this is RFK with his son David.

Bobby seems to be holding a piece of paper, Teddy is behind him.

It looks to me like the group is singing and Bobby has the lyrics.

I'm not sure what these are, buttons or cufflinks, I think.
