Carole let me tell ya' if neither one of the kids had gone out I would have been a big goofball too...I would have been out there taking pics anyway!!! I just love the tradition the neighborhood community association has started. They do sometimes come around on the firetruck too...but it is always at night and we just stand in the door and wave. This is neat cause Santa stops and takes the time to pose for pics and hand out candycanes and collect letters. Have fun decorating your tree tonight.

Such a great time!!
Our neighborhood santa came on a fire truck with all the bells and whistles!!
First came an ambulance that warned people that "Santa is here, come out and say HELLO"
Of course we went out, myself , my 2 daughters(aged 14 and 15) and my son (aged 9). Who do you think was waving their hands like a mad woman??

ME!!!
I remeber how great it was to see our young ones tremble with fear AND excitement at seeing Santa!!Sounds like Marissa got over her fear and the holiday spirit won!!
