Home Up


 

Monday, December 25th, 2023            

Here it is, the day that the kids still can't wait to get started - Christmas! This year Jayden and I were joined at home by Tara, Tyler and Rose, and Drew. Samantha and Derek weren't able to join us today, as they had plans with Derek's family today, but we will meet up with them tomorrow. As always, enjoy the pictures, and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
