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.
