One Day Early

December 12, 2011July 28, 2015

Cookie’s birthday is tomorrow, but since we had Mimi and Ampa in town and nobody had work or school to rush off to, we decided to start the celebrations early.  Let’s face it, the birthday boy doesn’t quite have a grasp on the ins and outs of the old calendar yet… He was thrilled to… Read More
