when santa arrives via firetruck

last night we had a little different type of fire drill in our neighborhood

i witnessed my kids
STOP where they were
slightly panic
DROP what they were doing
and immediately RUN for the door.



alex, of course, grabbed his noise protecting headphones
cassie came out covered in chicken pox
AND
the koste boys even came running out of the house in their boxers.
they were QUITE a group ;)

BUT ...
they made it out JUST in time
to see santa make his annual trip through the neighborhood on a firetruck



and that is all that mattered.

NOW ...
if i could just get them out of the house that fast on any other given day ;)
