Christmas wish

All Trent wants for Christmas this year, Santa (and he's been a very good boy), is a ice rink. He has gone to the trouble of buying $60 worth of lumber and nailed together a rink as large as our back yard. He comes home every night and sits outside in the freezing cold spraying the rink with the garden hose. Thankfully it snowed the weekend after Thanksgiving as he needed a nice snowy base. Poor Trent has been at work all week and has not been able to pack down the snow. Thankfully he has a wife who loves him and she spent 2 hours this morning, as Gabi snoozed, out packing down the snow by inching across the surface of the rink using the two kid's sleds. It looks like Trent is going to get his Christmas wish. We will keep you posted.
