Pictures with Santa...take 2

For the past 2 years Bob hasn't put up lights...

but this year, he didn't disappoint.

The house looked amazing.

One little boy in particular sure did enjoy the 'yights' every time we drove past.

This year he also did the free pictures with Santa.
We made sure to get there a little early so Easton could watch him get ready

and know it was him underneath the costume.

Child has no fear.

I think we had right at 100 kids and at least 15 dogs this year.

Each child left with a balloon and a candy cane.

I know it's a lot of work for Bob, but it's such a neat experience for those of us that help him.

To have those come for pictures with Santa and let them know it is indeed FREE.

Some offer to pay or donate, but to just smile and say it's free is a true gift.

To watch Bob with the kids, listening to them roll of their lists of the latest and greatest is really touching.

I'm sure some of these kids don't even have half the Christmas we are blessed to have.

I wish there was some way we could make all their wishes come true. 

But, for this one night, they have met Santa- and believe that their wishes have been heard. 

Here's to you Bob- for spreading the love that Christmas is really all about.
