Santa Claus visited our neighborhood!

Every year, the Saturday evening before Christmas, our local fire department comes through our neighborhood with Santa Claus up high on a fire truck! Sirens wailing and the sides of the truck all lit up, he throws candy for the kids and with a "Ho Ho Ho" wishes everyone a Merry Christmas!
We joined most of our neighbors to watch for his yearly visit!
This is our neighbor's Christmas decorations! They have more, too, that are all over their house. This is just a photo of their yard. They make their pine trees look like candy canes, with red and white lights. Every year, they seem to add something else new and interesting!
Here comes Santa Claus! He's turning onto our street!
You can barely see him in this photo! It was dark and those flashing lights were so bright!
Isaac enjoyed watching the flashing lights! He never cried, although it was close to his bed time, so he was getting a little sleepy. After chit chatting with our neighbors a little, we headed back inside to give Isaac his bath and put him to bed.

  1. What a fun neighborhood tradition! I bet kids grow up anxiously anticipating Santa & the firetrucks. I'm not sure if there's anything that little boys enjoy more than those two things!
