A Very Monkey Christmas

A Very Monkey Christmas

Crystal and I visited Rome for Christmas to see the Monkeys enjoy their first 'real' Christmas. Last year they were a bit small to understand it all, now they are almost 2.5 years old. So they speak, walk, and make their demands known.

Hawian perhaps?
