Story and photos by Monty Siekerman

Excitement was in the air as more than 40 people waited outside of ReStore for the doors to open at 5 p.m. on Friday for the arrival of Santa. And, Santa didn't disappoint. He sat in his chair, heard their wish list, and handed presents to each child.

In our photos:

On Santa's lap are Connor, Camden and Cole McKean. Then, elves helped children choose presents for their immediate family. With selections in hand, the kids then went to a table to have the presents wrapped. ReStore, with Santa's help, made a lot of youngsters happy that evening.
