Building, Star Wars Ornaments, Train Fun
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas with only 13 days to go! Our day started with Brian, Kendall, and myself going to Kendall’s swim lessons while Alison was getting her hair cut. Once dried-off from the pool, the three of us were off to the Lowe’s Build and Grow Train Engine Clinic.
