What a fabulous day it was! We were thrilled to welcome Santa, who made his grand arrival with the Valencia County Fire Department, spreading cheer and holiday magic everywhere he went. Not to be outdone, the Grinch rolled in with the Los Lunas Police Department, bringing laughs, mischief, and lots of smiles!
Everyone had a blast taking Christmas portraits with both Santa and the Grinch, making memories we’ll treasure for years to come. We are so thankful to our amazing community partners for helping make this day so special. ❤️🚒🚓
As this week comes to a close and Christmas break is just around the corner, we hope everyone has an amazing, joyful, and restful break filled with love, laughter, and holiday cheer! 🎄✨
