Santa Visits the Fire Hall

The sirens and ho ho ho's could be heard from a far distance. It could only mean one thing, Santa was visiting the local fire department. And to inform all the kids, he was escorted through Coxheath spreading the word that he would at the party. Tyler and I nearly missed the fire truck going down Nanny's street and caught him on the way back up. When Santa got closer, the truck slowed down and on the speaker he spoke to Tyler. He said "There's my little buddy" and Tyler hid behind my leg. He was so shy. Then as the truck turned off the street and went up the next, he so wanted to get in the car and follow Santa in the fire truck. However, it wasn't long before Tyler was reunited with the big guy in red. Santa was at the annual fire department Christmas party for kids. There were lots of treats, hot chocolate, movies being played, and of course a chance to meet and have your picture taken with Santa. Tyler was all excited to be able to talk to Santa. He told me what toys he was going to ask him to bring. However when it came to Tyler's turn to sit on his lap, Tyler was so shy that he hid his head behind his hands. Finally after a little coaxing with a cup full of treats, he poked his little head out and we could see his smile.
