Kyle, Texas is such a cool place to live. Take this for example. The Kyle Fire Department spends the week or two before Christmas driving Santa Claus all over the city, winding through neighborhoods.

Last night, Santa came by our house.

It's a great memory. Thanks Kyle Fire Department!

They've even created a Facebook Page so people can share their photos and videos.. and to let folks know where Santa has been spotted.

Perched atop a Kyle Fire Truck is Santa!

The kids wave to Santa

My oldest w/Santa at the Kyle United Methodist Church 12/12/10
She got her cast off Tuesday (broke arm on monkey bars)

Kids... don't look


It appears Santa had a bit too much egg-nog.
It made me laugh so hard I almost couldn't take this photo...almost

All about Santa - Santa arrives in Kyle...cont.


Santa arrives on a fire truck.

Kyle Mayor Miguel Gonzalez poses with his family


Mayor Gonzalez interviews Santa... by the way... favorite cookie is Chocolate Chip.


Kiddos from 6 different Elementary schools help the Mayor and Santa turn the lights on... TREE LIT!


My little one loved Santa's beard... My older one told Santa she wanted a new step stool.

AND... of course I had to get a photo with the man.

Hope you don't mind checking out these shots, I've got others around town waiting, but I just thought I'd give you a week or so of Santa's Party @ the Square we had last Wednesday. So... here's some of the activities...


Of course, the tree lighting was HUGE.


Rock Climbing - that little girl on the right was AWESOME.


This little boy was intensely serious about his snowflake making.


This is probably one of my favorite photos of the night. A little girl and her letter to Santa.


This is my daughter being helped by one of the great volunteers from Texas State University - San Marcos to write her letter. She wants a new stepstool, a pink Sleeping Beauty and a pink shirt by the way.


The "moon bounce" was a huge hit too.

Tomorrow I'll finish it off by featuring the photos of folks with Santa.

He came... he saw... WE HAD A BLAST!

Starting at 4:30p.m. yesterday, folks formed a line to meet Santa Claus.



Of course.. the couple of the hour (or evening as the case may be): Santa and Mrs. Claus!


He saw hundreds of kiddos and it looked like a lot of money was raised for Operation Blue Santa (http://www.bluesanta.org/).

I'll share some other shots in the next week. It was a blast.

SANTA CLAUS... I KNOW HIM... I KNOW HIM!

I've been asked to be an official photographer for Santa Claus coming to Kyle... tonight! Ho Ho Ho (it's still a thing)!
