A Diesel Train for Mom

In the weeks preceding Christmas whenever anyone asked Ari what he wanted for Christmas he always had the same reply "a diesel train for Mom". When asked "why" he would respond "so Mom can play trains with me". So Guess what Santa brought me? Yep, my very own diesel train. I owe you one Ari!


Here's Ari with his Christmas loot at our pre-Christmas Christmas (we opened gifts before we left for St.George). Ari's laundry list of gifts included Bob the Builder duplos, Toby the train, a head lamp and his very own sleeping bag. He later got a karaoke machine from Gump and Gump and some wooden food from Papa and Nonie. Isaac got some duplos as well (which Ari will borrow until he's old enough to play with them) and a stuffed giraffe thingy. He got some clothes from Papa and Nonie and blanket from Gump and Gump. They got hooked up!


As I mentioned before Joe and I got money from our parents. We had intended to take a trip to the Red Woods over the break but the weather never cooperated so we will have to save it for a later date, later this month, over spring break or maybe even in the summer. We will make it eventually. We ended up staying in St.G for almost 2 weeks. More on that later...
