Ten children, 10 Colonial Regional Police officers, the police chief and volunteers kicked off the seventh annual "Shop with Cops" on Saturday with breakfast at the Chick-fil-A in Lower Nazareth.

The next stop was Walmart, where the youngsters got to do their holiday shopping. The children went from aisle to aisle picking out toys, clothing, jewlery and even gifts for their pets. 

After checkout, the children and their "partners in crime" took their gifts to get wrapped by Walmart employees. The youngsters also visited Santa and donated a toy to Toys for Tots. They ended the day with lunch at Red Robin.
