Pictures with Santa Chet

I just ran across these pictures from about a month ago! Our sweet neighbor, Chet, 'plays' Santa, so he came over one night and invited us to bring the kiddos over for pictures.

Caleb, too young to have a clue :), was just as laid back as could be...

Rhys, on the other hand...well, let's just say this is the best smile we could get from him, and it took Daddy getting into the picture, too! :)

We've since been getting to know our sweet, new friend...he's invited us to his church...we got to go with him this passed Sunday morning, and he came over for dinner and a good evening of fellowship and stories of his life that same evening.

As you can see, Santa Chet loses the "Santa beard" after Christmas, and Rhys was a bit more inclined to befriend him...

How sweet is this...

The Lord has once again blessed us through a good, sweet neighbor, and we are thankful! {And I'm not talking about his role play as Santa! :)}
