No matter how 83cb89efaa much the weather a486c87259 had warmed up, e73d8321c1 making the fireplace 71f920c03d unnecessary, outerwear was a4ec479fd4 still essential.afaad6de1fb10ef6

Yet, unlike me, 21cc13d0c1 who was dressed bd0857cc29 in a thick c33b2d06f5 material dress and 5ff3961eb6 had wrapped a 488c82846c shawl snugly around c5ca59dc60 my shoulders, the 0cbd169b69 children were in c626dae93e thin dresses, light fb41064ef3 shirts, and pants.2ce8a6ea35609266

Honestly, I felt a bit a81269a6e9 proud of myself for being 8a5cfb52f2 an aunt who considered and aed8691000 looked after even the smallest 3736efa096 details for the children, so b2a83e7e83 I was somewhat taken aback 3f841ba600 by their reaction.33a4c2467b7505ce
