Bert is the new volunteer chaplain for Piedmont Park Fire Department, which is just down the road from our church. He has a uniform on order, but he's promised me that he won't be running into burning buildings just because he has a uniform so I'm good with it.
Bert really is looking forward to getting to know the guys at the station and working on building relationships with them.
We were all invited to the PPFD Christmas party and the girls were so excited that SANTA came too! He had a gift for each child.
Hannah was especially ecstatic and it was precious.
Abby wasn't not so sure. When he called her name she didn't even want to take the present from him, much less sit on his knee.
Claire was excited too! There were probably 20 kids at the party and all the kids got their gifts from Santa and walked back to their seats to open them, but Claire got her gift from him and opened it right there in his lap. Ha!
Emily wasn't jumping around as much as Hannah, but you could tell she was really excited too!
I had to get a sibling pic with Santa since we didn't make it to the Roper Mountain Lights this year.
We really enjoyed our time getting to meet lots of people and eating good food. We are incredibly thankful for the men and women who work for PPFD and how they protect and serve our community!
