We went to Maine for Thanksgiving. On the Friday after Thanksgiving it was raining, but we attempted to go and see the lobster boats in Portland anyway. We ended up at the Children's Museum, and they had a replica of a lobster boat for the children to play on. Riley loved it and we had to drag him away. It was perfect for him because he loves the show The Deadliest Catch so much!
On Saturday we stopped in Boston to see Riley's godparents and cousins so that we could play LEGO Star Wars on the X-box. Riley was looking forward to this part of the trip for months.
For Christmas we spend the holidays at home. We put up the tree the Sunday before Christmas with all the Star Wars ornaments that I have collected and all of Riley's Jack in the Boxes. The collection that I started for Riley's first Christmas ended this year. So, he will have seven Jack in the Boxes for his own tree someday.
From Santa Riley got a LEGO CITY Set with the helicopter and fire truck and the heavy rifle blaster from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He also received a Wii from his grandparents and his own LEGO Star Wars game from his godparents. Riley also got the Captain Rex helmet and spent many days after Christmas playing Clone Wars with his dad. The theme of this Christmas for Riley was LEGO and Star Wars: The Clone Wars. He was very happy with his gifts.
