Second Time Around...Success?

So in comparison to the earlier post of Aden's visit to see Santa after Thanksgiving, last night's second round went much better. Still no smile, but no tears! I just love the look he has on his face here... clearly an "I'm up here, what more do you want from me?"look. Really the only reason he's truly sitting on Mr. Clause's lap is because he gave him a sucker...pretty much Aden will do anything for a sucker- but hey, bribery can't be all bad, right?

Winter/Christmas Fun

We've had so much fun this season with Aden and the excitement he has for snow, and trees, and santa! He really understands so much more than last year and I now get how different holidays are with children, it's the magic that returns and we are so lucky to experience it again through his eyes. We are lucky to have family and friends around too to share these things with. Happy Holidays to you all!

The Classic Santa Exchange

"Do you want to go see Santa Aden?"
"Adie... love...Santa"
"I know you do, we're going to go see him and sit on his lap okay?"
"Okay momma, Adie see Santa"
"Here we are baby..."
