SANTA TIME!!!

Some people take their brats to see Santa at a mall, or at a department store, and wait and wait and wait in line for an eternity just to get a little 1 on 1 Santa time of their own....round' these parts we get full dibs on Santa almost exclusively to ourselves at our annual county holiday parade...the parade starts at 2pm, so we be sure to arrive no later than 130pm and await his arrival by the big red fire truck that serves as his 'ride' in the parade....I guess his reindeer are still getting conditioned for the world-wide trek they are scheduled to perform in just a few weeks time...we stake out the place like groupies, and its always worth the wait!

This year, LB was the first to greet him! As he approached the fire truck, the mauling occured! Before poor ole' St. Nick could even get his hat on! LOL....Regardless, Randi got some 1 on 1 face time with the special guy and made sure to let him know her most special secret wish, "a bike and a helmet"....the word has been passed, now all there is to do is wait and see if she was naughty or nice!

Santa is always the last entry in the parade each year...I thought it was pretty neat when he drove by, heard the Little Brat screaming "SANTA SANTA SANTA", and acknowledged her by responding "Hey, I know YOU little girl!"....Boy, I don't think we can top that! I did notice that she must have thrown off his whole preparation though, as he was still missing that red cap!!!

Santa gave Randi a cute little pin that she displays proudly in this pic on her scarf....

This is such a great time of year, and such a great place to spend it....

We wish you lots of love and magical bliss for you and yours this Holiday Season!


Happy Trails,
