I LOVE Redondo Beach!

The strangest thing happened at our house tonight. I was hearing tons of police sirens outside. I kept looking out my window because they sounds very close. I could see lots of flashing lights around the corner but I could not see what was going on. There was a really loud alarm going off that made me very nervous. Then I heard someone talking on the loud speaker from the police car but I couldn't make out what they were saying. I quickly locked the doors to my house. I kept watching out the window and I saw the police car turn onto our street giving the same announcement. It only took a minute before I understood what she was saying.

She was saying.... "Merry Christmas! Santa Clause will be here in 10 minutes!" What?!?!? This can't be real. I had no clue what was going on but I hurried and dressed the kids in warm clothes and shoes just in case something happened. Robbie watched the sky for his sleigh.

10 minutes later, another police car turned on to our street, sirens blaring, and stopped right in front of our house. Seconds later....what turned down the street...but Santa's sled being pulled my a police car. The stopped in the middle of the road for about 10 minutes so the kids could get on Santas sleigh and talk with him. After that they kids received a lollipop. How cool is that?!??! It was really dark so I wasn't able to get very good pictures but here are some!

That is so cool! I would have been freaked out too at first. I might have carried around my chef's knife, knowing me! What a neat surprise!

How funny! The same thing happened when Elle and I were coming home from the mall the other day (same day, I'm sure),and Santa's police escorted sleigh drove by on the opposite side of the road, only Santa didn't stop, they just drove by us and waved! It was so strange! (especially since we had all just pulled tot he right for two fire trucks)
