Dear Santa,

I have been a very good boy this year! I wanted to tell you how nice it was to meet you when we went to see Christmas lights. That was a lot of fun. Maybe next year you can show me the North Pole! Just a suggestion!! Thank you for taking a picture with me too.

I guess you agree that I have been a good boy because you brought me everything I asked for and more!!!

Love, Trenton

As you can see Trenton got what every little boy needs:

Train set, shopping cart and basketball goal!

Sing Along Car!

Train Table!

Playground...swings are on the way!

I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas. We did the Riley Christmas the Sunday before at our house! We had 11 adults and10 kids under the age of 12! Gene was busy assembling the new playground while I helped get ready for the day! It was nice to have everyone over for the holidays! Our first since we just got our new house! Mom and Dad you are the best and I couldn't ask for better parents. The Grandchildren are truly blessed! It felt like the gifts never ended.

Gene has been really sick again this year, I guess it is our new family tradition. We have to quarantine ourselves because Gene gets a really bad case of Strep or Tonsilitis every Christmas! Instead of going to Mom and Dads for traditional feast we had Jack in the Box! We didn't need to infect anyone else! By today I was so tired of being stuck in the house we went to lunch as a family and shopped a little! I have the 2 greatest men in the world to take care of me (or vice versa!) and I love them both!

All in all we had a blast! Trenton also got several Handy Haulers, Noisy Cars (thanks Mom), PLAYDOUGH (Kim I won't go there!) and of course clothes! We are blessed to have our family and friends! Hope everyone has a great New Year!

Also, Mom had her surgery and is doing great!
