Mom tried to have an open house / party / gathering for New Year’s day as we have done in past years but things did not work out as hoped. I think we had a total of 4 families represented, one of a them a neighbor and another kinfolk. Ema’s family was there for most of the time. Her little sister Ana and Alice had a lot of fun together, playing dress up and bother the brother. Later Alice’s third cousin once removed Gracie arrive and the three of them did a lot of bonding. I am not sure what Corwin and Charles did, except Charles spent the early part building baracades to protect him from Ana.
We’ll be eating chili for a quite a while.
