Riley Christmas

We stay in town for the Christmas holidays. It’s just easier than trying to pack up all the gifts and travel. We usually do Christmas with my family the day after Christmas, but this year we did it Christmas Evening. It was great to get all of the excitement of gift opening out of the way in one day! The boys both got too much stuff from my parents, but that’s what they are for. I actually had to put toys up this year and plan to bring them out next month. My family is huge! I have 4 brothers and sisters that are all married and we have a total of  12 kids between us! Next year there will be 13 when my brother has his new little girl! Gene was great at taking a lot of pictures while I tended to our sweet anti social baby. Trace screamed the entire time we were there. Made for a very stressful time for this Mama. He is very emotional when he gets over stimulated.

Trenton got everything from Hotwheel tracks to Legos!

Gene also got the gift he had been bugging me about for a while! He got a firepit and I am so happy he did!

And here is sweet Trace. Hard to believe this sweet this bundle of joy could scream at the top of his lungs for hours, huh!

Trace ended up with 3 tummy time mats and clothes. This is the one from my parents. It has lights and sounds. He really loves this toy. It’s nice to  have something to put him under so I can get some stuff done.
