Blokus and Hot Wires
22nd Jan 202122nd Jan 2021 ~ Smelly Socks and Garden Peas ~ 19 Comments

As usual the boys got plenty of interesting gifts for Christmas and large boy's birthday.

Disclaimer: The canvas and frame were gifted to us for the purpose of this review, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
