First Christmas

First Christmas

By: Jenny W. | Setting: Nacogdoches, TX | Date: Thursday, December 25, 2014

Last year, our daughter, Chelsey, was 10 months old when we celebrated her first Christmas. She had just started walking, loved riding things and playing outside, so it only seemed natural that her first "big" Christmas present should be a wagon. With my husband being the only one working so that I could stay home with Chelsey, we didn't have much extra to spend on Christmas, so we were very excited to find out that a friend's son had been given 2 Radio Flyer Pathfinder Wagons for his birthday and they were happy to help us give our daughter something we knew she would love. On Christmas morning, she almost didn't care to open anything after seeing her wagon; she just wanted to be pulled around the living room. All year long we have enjoyed playing outside with her wagon, pulling my daughter, her dolls, and her kittens. And I am happy to say that this year, since she is fascinated by the older kids riding bikes, we were able to buy her a beautiful pink Radio Flyer Classic Tricycle to have waiting for her under the tree. I can't wait to see her try to ride it around the living room Christmas morning.

Makenna's Coats for a Cause By: Makenna B.

"I remember fondly my cousin Abby, Traci, and I all riding on the tricycle in northern California in the 1980s. All three of us around the ages 4 and 5. There's a super cute picture of us. This memory has always stuck with me. I have two old tricycles all rusty in my garage that my children play with."

"Dear Radio Flyer, We purchased a Liberty spring horse about 6-7 years ago as a present for my son. Since the minute that horse enered our house he has been ridden by every child big enough to ride him. He was given the name Geoffrey by my son so the name Geoff has stuck all of these years. My husband and I were foster parents and I cannot stress enough how much of a calming effect Geoff had on some of the children. Some would ride him for hours thinking about whatever they needed to to calm down. Some bounced away anger some bounced and had the best time of their lives. Geoff was a life saver. I am looking at Geoff now. His handles might be a little worse for wear but looking at him he has held up good as new otherwise. As our kids get older I wonder what will happen to Geoff. Then I think about all of the grand kids who will enjoy the amazing Geoff. It isn't often these days that you get a toy that will last through more than one kids it is amazing to think of Geoff lasting generations "
