Dear Santa,

My name is Tyler and I'm 7 years old, I'm writing this letter to you on behalf of my siblings: Trent, Sophia and Parker. I know you're the man who makes things happen during this time of year, and you're very busy but I'm wondering if you can do me a HUGE favor.

Is there any way you can talk to my parents so they can put a stop to this annual ritual of torturing us. It's like clockwork, right after Thanksgiving...it's picture time for the Christmas card!

As Dennis commented on my last post, "I never thought you would post even less frequently than I do…", but it does get really hard to post daily, as I once did a loooong time ago in this blogging land. Add another kid to the pile and your busy life gets even more hectic. So I'm opting for the lazy fast way of posting, I know you folks are waiting on pins and needles for an update from me, just amuse me and nod "yes". You're the best!

Here's Betty's last week/end recap (this might be lengthy, I'm adding some gratuitous pictures so you can skip all the blah blah blah):
