That was so cute! How big the boys have grown. I knew Rosebud was born in March just couldn't recall the date. How time flies! I think it was a day or two after my grandson's BD of the 15th but a year apart?

Congrats to all the winners!! Thumbs up

@Simon didn't want to be in the video for some reason. Stage fright at the last minute, I guess, so he was with Trish behind the camera.

Sue, she was born March 16th, 2014.

Congratulations to the winners, the sponsors, and Dave & Trish & Co. for pulling everything together! It was fun and it looks as if I need to get busy and earn some more acorns since there's no doubt another "not a raffle" on the distant horizon... Thumbs up Hurray! Group hug
