Christmas Day at the Read household can only be described as an invasion of trucks.  Lyell and Mason inspect the first new addition to the Read fleet - a large compacting recycling truck.  Sure - its politically correct - but it makes lots of noise!

Next - note the serious expression as the first remote control vehicle in the Read fleet is removed from its packaging.  Yes, it has already been used to surprise, amuse and pester the little brother.

Now dressed, the carnage continues.  Here, Mason figures out how to use the keys to his new garage.

And who would have guessed - but another truck!  Only this one combines our favorite vehicle with one of our favorite activities - - camping!

Mason has a new friend as a result of Christmas.  We call him "Winkie", out of respect for an old friend.

And before the dust settled - we had to get a shot with Mason and Lyell in their favorite new shirts featuring ballerinas (oops - typo!) - TRUCKS!
