Nathan, the dogs, & I got to volunteer at Healing Farms’ Christmas Party. Healing Farms provides several opportunities to the special needs community and their families. This group has a special place in my heart because my brother has autism. If you don’t know about Healing Farm or want to find 0ut how you can help, check out their website: Healing Farm
I helped man the gift/fundraiser table while Nathan photographed the event. Here are just a few of my favorites from the REALLY cold evening:![Santa Baby The local Fire Department hired the youngest firefighter/santa](http://richardbellphotography.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/hfchristmas08-0006.jpg)
