A Visit with Santa

We took Simon to visit Santa last night. He's actually seen Santa twice before this but this was our official visit with photos. All three times, he's run right up to Santa and hopped on his lap. It was pretty adorable. I don't know what exactly they are discussing below -- I can only guess! -- but I love how serious they both look.

And then of course, the official photo, cheesey grin and all! Don't you just love this Santa? He looks like he could be someone's dear, sweet grandfather. And his eyes really do twinkle. : )

Mark and I grew up with visits to Santa so it was really fun to continue this tradition with Simon. So glad he wasn't afraid! Last year, Mark was helping out Santa so he was really the only Santa Simon visited with. It was a memorable experience and I love the photos that capture the visit.
