Riding the Fire Truck with Santa

Our brother-in-law works at the Sunset Fire Department, and every year Santa rides around town on the Fire Truck and the kids of the fire fighters get to ride with him.  Since Navarro doesn't have kids he asked if Ellie could be his rider.  So early one Saturday morning in December we got up and ran over to the fire station to get Ellie on the truck. 

Clint and Ellie got to ride up top and Levi and I got to ride on the inside.  I totally wasn't planning on it so I hadn't gotten ready or anything, so I looked completely awful.  But just as we started to go snow started to come down like nobody's business so Ellie only stayed up top for about an hour.  Then she came inside the truck with Levi and I.  Clint was up there for about three or four hours though!  I felt so bad for him because it was snowing so hard.  But overall it was really fun and we are grateful that Navarro let us come along for the ride!

Ellie totally loved the whole ride.  She also got a stuffed doggy, who is named Rover, from the Firemen.  She always talks about her ride on the Fire Truck.  Thanks Uncle Varro!
