NEW Year, but good OLD traditions!

New Year's is spent with the whole Dumas clan!

Here are a few traditions ALWAYS present
at the celebration!

COUSINS............

Notice lots of blonds and my one and ONLY brown KD!

And what about the fact their are not many boys?
That is because there is more than TWICE as many girls as boys!
the count -12 girls and 5 boys

Daddio and his boys

GOOD FOOD...............

BEIGNETS.............

YUM!!!

OYSTERS...............
