We came into KC for the weekend because Holly and family were going to be in town. Somehow it ended up being a mini reunion with family. Its always good to see everybody. First off is a video of Holly (and Jim)’s kids, David and Lindsay. I got them to say “Kelly Clarkson” and “Welcome … Continue reading “Kansas City with Holly – 9/15/2018”
