Posted on January 10, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I absolutely loved this film more than the first film, An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving. I don’t know if it was because of the conflict between the characters or that it took place in Ireland. I felt the writing … Continue reading →

Posted on January 4, 2011 by laurarachel4
