SUNDAY 15 DECEMBER 2024
:heart: All 7 Grands here in the morning for my "Cousins Cocoa Christmas Party!" I try to do it close to Saint Nicholas Day, but had to wait a week this year. A good time was had by all! Then spent the afternoon with the 4 that were staying the weekend watching Christmas movies, coloring, and building LEGO.

:hheart:Date with my husband: we went to our little downtown and visited the new library that was built last year when we were in Colorado. Then we walked around and looked at the lovely light displays, stopped for a cocktail, and finally had dinner at a favourite Italian restaurant. Our 36th anniversary is tomorrow (well, today as i'm posting this) so that was our little celebration.
