Nicholas meets St. Nicholas!

This was such an exciting day for us: taking our baby boy to sit on Santa's lap for the first time!  I've been looking forward to taking my baby to visit Santa since before I was even married.  Christmas is such a fun and magical time of year and is my second favorite holiday (after Thanksgiving, of course!).  And I think Santa Claus just adds to the magic.  I have so many memories of trying to stay up on Christmas Eve and thinking I hear reindeer on the roof.  I loved running from my room to see what goodies Santa left for us, and he never disappointed.

There was Christmas music wafting through the air and it was a cold, crisp, wintry day--basically, perfect!  Nicholas was so cute when I carried him up to Santa.  Nicholas looked wary, but he just kept staring right up at him.  Santa lifted him up to his face and whispered in his ear, and it looked like the two of them were having a little secret conversation that only children can have with jolly old Saint Nick.  And Santa loved Nicholas' name too!
