December
21, 2025 - The family gathered together for an early Chistmas
with Karen and Lee Duquette's granddaughter and two great-grandchildren
so they could go a bit north into North Carolina to see Kristen's biological
father.
The evening began with the kids grandparents, Renee and
John Smythers helping them make Christmas cookies. |
