Barron asked Santa for a chainsaw and a candy cane for Christmas. He got both and was so excited. We went to Troy's parents for Christmas dinner and it was the first time his aunt, uncle and cousins met Andee. They loved her and Barron has changed so much too since they saw him last too. He played so hard with everyone. They are home from Argentina for a month. It was so good to see them and to have them home for a bit.

Barron got spoiled from grandma GiGi and grandpa DiDi. He has to keep all the toys there to play with and so he is already asking if he can go do DiDi's house. He loved the tools and trucks.
He got a new Bob hat with a headlamp on it too.
When we got home we celebrated Jesus's birthday with the cake Barron decorated. We had a great day.
Santa called on my phone just as we got home and Barron thanked him, told him he loved him so much and that he would be a really good boy all year until next year. We will see about that. It was such a good threat to use to get him to listen this month. He loves Santa.
