Christmas 2003
A Christmas Eve (December 23rd) party at our house shows Kathryn (our daughter-in-laws' granddaughter), Josh Petro, Patrick, Andy, and Tim (3 of our 4 grandsons) and Steve Petro (our cousins).
Elizabeth is in the middle of (far left) Rainey Petro (Jay's cousin from Pittsburg), Cati (Selina's cousin from Saltillo, Mexico) and on the right is Diana (Selina's mother) and Selina (Tim's girlfriend). Got everyone straight?!!!
Our Daughter-in-law, Nancy B. and her daughter, Shawna Tamez, watch Tim giving Nanny a dance lesson. Is this what he's learning in College?
Christmas with Tom and Nancy at their house.
John admires the bronze golf statue that Jay bought him for breaking 80. Nancy wears a Christmas shirt that Elizabeth made in 1992. The reindeer's body is Tim's foot, antlers are Andy's hands, and small prints are Joe's index finger. Elizabeth says that some of the little dots are Patrick's finger - but he was only 14 months old.
Elizabeth tries out her new laptop computer (our gift to her) at her house.
John and Jay are relaxing after all of the meals. Come on, guys, smile!
We celebrate Cousin Steve's birthday at the lake house on December 26th. He doesn't look too happy with his birthday "cake" of unsweetened jello, strawberries, and Cool Whip. BUT, he's on Adkins's diet and a rich birthday cake is not allowed. From left to right are Patrick, Steve, Josh, Hannah (Jay's sister Katy's daughter), Deb, Rainey (Steve's sister/Jay's cousin), Nancy, and Selina.
