Santa came!

Our company had it's Christmas party this week. It was a chili cook off with a surprise for the kiddos--Santa came! He and his wife showed up on a huge Harley. The kids went absolutely wild.


We overhead on child exclaiming "LOOK! It's Santa, the real Santa! Look, of course it's him cause he's on a motorcycle!"

Apparently, to some children, real Santa's ride Harley's.





The kids swarmed him as soon as he exited the bike.

The line formed pretty quickly. Each child had the opportunity to sit on his lap and receive a package of goodies and a present (DVD's).

Marcus LOVES Santa. He kept going back to say "hi"and blow bubbles with him.

Jacob was busy all night playing football and soccer with the other boys. He paused long enough to smile for the camera and give Santa a hug.

As for the chili cook off, about 15 different people brought in their chili for everyone. The CO, 1st Sgt, and someone else (slipped my mind at the moment) were the three judges. I made a double batch of my steak and black bean chili to share. Turns out that lots of people liked it. I ended up taking 2nd place!

If you can't read it, it's the 1st Annual Chili Cook Off. "Sappers Lead The Way". :)
