December Daily #8

We saw Santa tonight. In fact, we took a hay ride with Santa around our little town. The kids sat up on his lap, chatted with him and whispered what they wanted for Christmas. {Lincoln-Monster Truck, Lila-Pretty Things.} So much different than last years tears.

We had so much fun we hardly even minded the stories Santa was telling us about when he almost lost his toes to frostbite after he killed an elk back in 1957 in Moscow, Idaho.

Seriously though, he was a very nice Santa. Bonus point for the real beard.

Good job, Gig Harbor!

Santa + Fire Trucks

This week our city had several open houses at local fire stations. With Santa too. Ummmmm...could this event be more perfect for our family??? Oh, we sure talk a lot about Santa around here. We've even had the opportunity to see him a few times. (Though there were some tears involved.) We are quite fascinated with that jolly dude though so we keep on trying.

But FIRE TRUCKS, did someone say FIRE TRUCKS? We're there.

Those firemen were super-nice. The kids got to 'drive' the big trucks and crawl all around inside of them. Those friendly firemen didn't even care about the candy-cane sticky fingers. So much fun. Such good memories.

Now I am trying to convince Brian to be a fireman. (Maybe I should chat with Santa.) Because HELLO the uniforms. Too much information. Nah, we're all friends here right?!?!
