Santa, Marysvale Style

I had the chance to make an unexpected trip to Marysvale, the Friday before Christmas.  We had to take Sara half-way to meet her dad. It was a great surprise.  We didn't tell anyone that we were coming, so they were super surprised.  Brannigan saw us through his bedroom window.  They all thought he was lying when he said that we had just pulled up!  The look on Sherry and Austin's face was priceless.

  It just so happened that we showed up about an hour before Santa did!

 It was very different than in years past.  Usually Santa is a very old man, who well, looks like Santa and he comes around on the fire truck.  This year Santa came around in the ambulance and was played by one of the King boys from Antimony.

 Didn't matter that he was the youngest Santa I had ever seen, my kids were super excited.  Especially Piper.  She has been so in love with Santa Clause this year.  It's quite cute.

 Ha, ha, ha!  Look at Santa's boots!  Only in Marysvale!!

The whole crew.  Riyo wasn't sure that she really wanted to be that close to Santa, but Grandma took one for the team and jumped in the picture to make her sit there.
