real, because when I hear
stomping I run in Mom and
Dad’s room. Other peo-

but when I run downstairs
I don’t see anything. So
when I run into my parent’s
room, I see them in there.
So it can’t be them. I love
you! Derek’s list: All I want

Dear Santa,
My name is Cameron
and I’m 2 years old. This
year for Christmas I would
like some Paw Patrol toys.
My favorite is Marshall!
Also, I learned how to do
all my puzzles so I need
some new ones to prac-
tice!
I helped decorate the
Christmas tree and it looks
really nice. My favorite
thing is to turn the lights on
the tree!
Merry Christmas!
