Santa and the Firemen

For the second year in a row since we have lived here, the Operation Santa Claus comes thru the neighborhood.  They come to collect canned goods, toys and money to help local families in need. 

The fire trucks come through and Santa waves from one of the old fire trucks! How cool is that, huh!?!

It was a super cold night, but we were able to make it again this year.

Here is a video for your viewing pleasure :).


We donated a bag of goods and the kids got candy canes from Santa's helpers.  It feels good to help some others during the holiday season and we enjoy the bonus of seeing Santa another time! :)

We can only imagine how excited the kids were to see the fire engine and getting their candy canes.

We are officially moved people!!!! After a month and a half of constant work in getting the place ready, we have made the journey and came out in one piece for the most part.  We have gotten things unpacked and put in their respective places.  And been finishing up some details in several rooms.  We have some smaller projects left, but the majority of the work is done and the house looks great!  We now have it decorated for Christmas and ready for Santa to make his stop. Brylee would like to give you a tour! Enjoy the pictures: The front of the house: The side view of the front yard: A view into the backyard: The front porch: The Sunroom: The Kitchen (a little dark), but the paint looks awesome!

Per my mom's request I am posting some pictures of me when I was young and some pictures of Brylee.  My mom was recently going through some old photos and gave me these.  She said that she could not believe the similarities as she was looking at the pictures.  So Mom here you go!
