Happy Birthday Jesus!

This Christmas was a lower key one that we usually enjoy, everyone in our home has had Bronchitis so we were all still on the mend. Since Jason had to work on Christmas, the girls let him open their present to him on Christmas Eve and they opened their stockings. Then off to bed. On Christmas day we visited Station 7 for a little while and the girls enjoyed playing with some of the other firemen's children. After a wonderful meal of fried turkey, smoked ham and all the fixings...some of the guys headed behind the station to play horseshoes...while the batallion chief rode down a nearby hill on a cardboard box! LOL The girls enjoyed playing on the rescue truck for a few minutes and then Jason took Emma on top of the truck and while she loved it,mommy almost had a heart attack. It is nice to see a fun side to these guys and after all the families left the girls and I hung out for a while to visit with the firemen. It's nice to get to know them better, helps me understand Jason's connection to them and puts me more at ease knowing he's got a great group of guys looking after each other when they're out working.
Thanks for the hospitality Station 7, we enjoyed it!
