This picture was taken at Mother's house in Grand Prairie on Christmas morning, 2004. We had long since given up the
mêlée, with the whole family gathered in one home and presents piled waist high at the tree and cascading outwards to the middle of the living room. It's just as well in our sleep-deprived society. And besides, it was almost impossible to make your way through the packages to plug in or unplug the Christmas tree lights. Paul, sitting on the floor, and David, in the chair, are showing admirable restraint, waiting for Paul's parents to join us to open presents.
This one, also taken at Mother's, is from Christmas morning 1983. It shows Andrew, looking spiffy in his blue
faux 'gator skin cowboy boots, and Nicolette, in a flannel nightgown, checking out a space invaders arcade game.
The picture above was taken at Ellen and Stan's house in San Antonio. I'd have to check on the date to determine what the occasion was. It could have been mid-October for the Texas/OU game, later in the month for Mother's birthday, or late in December for a New Year's celebration. Drew has an armfull of cat - either Pom-Pom or Princess - and Allison is trying to tempt said cat with a smooch.
