Family in Yard United States CU Group of adults - two men and two women in various casual clothing - sit outdoors. There is a small garden and trees in the background. The woman in the center of the screen is wearing a short-sleeved blue plaid dress (typical 1940s fashion) and the men wear blue button-down shirts and slacks or jeans. The other woman is relatively obscured, but she wears a dark blue outfit (most likely a dress). The woman in the blue plaid dress opens a small present (package? birthday party?). A little girl (toddler, c. age 2) in a white dress and dark, curly hair comes running up to the woman and the woman shows the item to the small child. The woman breaks off a portion of the gift and hands it to the man on her right. He places the item in his left pocket (keeping it away from the small child?).
