EVERY kid loves going to their grandparent’s house – or at least, all of Daphne Valentine’s do.
Her 15 grandkids love visiting her Christmas room each year.
The Kooweerup Nan does up her rumpus room in December each year, filling it with Christmas decorations to celebrate the festive season.
Daphne has been decorating the room for the past two years, and may even open it up to the public in the future.
Daphne’s daughter Katelyn Kelly said her mum spent two-and-a-half weeks decorating the room this time around.
“She does it for all the kids and her own kids because we all love Christmas,” she said.
