Merry Christmas

Woke up this morning to a Christmas tree surrounded by more packages than one could count. Luckily, Santa brought our 4-yr old nephew a new remote controlled firetruck as there was a report of a light bulb out on the tree. Well, his fire brigade jumped into action to take care of the problem before there were bigger problems. It turned into a 7-Alarm call with seven pieces of equipment on scene. The problem was resolved just in time for all to enjoy a quiet, smoke-free breakfast.

Here’s a closeup of the new rig. The unit comes complete with an internal Water Tank (Mom & Dad’s most “loved” feature) for the snorkel. “Not in the house,” was the verbal order issued by headquarters.

The “Brigade Commander” – aka Nephew – was caught taking a photo of the new rig with his new Lego Camera. Look closely and you can see the front end of the truck in the LCD screen on his camera.

Their Toucan “popped out” of the greenery to wish us and all of you a “Merry Christmas” and a “Happy New Year.”
