The spirit of giving



Every December the local Fire Department comes down the streets in our neighborhood collecting food for the Homeless Shelter, with Santa on top of the fire truck and the fire fighters in front of the truck walking. This year the girls heard the sirens and went running outside, little did they know it would take the fire fighters another 15 minutes to get to our house, with our temps in the negatives with the windchill they were just a little on the frozen side when they came in.


You gotta love Hannah's purple punch mustache.

In exchange for the food the girls got candy canes, they thought it was well worth the 15 minute wait to be able to give food and to see Santa.

Santa comes to our town too on a fire truck. It has been tradition for years here. It is always Christmas Eve. He gives the kids a bag of peanuts, orange, and candy cane. My kids think because we live in the desert that this is how Santa visits houses. Silly but very fun!
Your girls are so cute! LOVING the purple mustache. :)

The chair Duncan is sitting in is the BEST thing I could have ever spent money on. They are kinda spendy but worth every penny. I got mine off ebay for $6.50. They are normally $35 at Walmart. My older kids like to sit in it as well. Happy Shopping. :o)
