A Visit to Santa Claus


This morning Thomas and I went to the University Mall in Orem to see Santa! I've been meaning to take him for weeks, and then started panicking yesterday when I realized that some schools were already out for Christmas break, and that Santa would probably be really busy over the next couple days as all the other parents brought in their kids last minute. So we rushed to the mall at 10 am, right when Santa got there for the day, and thankfully there was no wait at all! Thomas saw Santa here last year and was perfectly okay, at 5 months, being put on Santa's lap, and gave a cute little grin for the camera. So this year I was worried my luck would change and Thomas would freak out. But he was a champ! He was totally curious about this white-bearded guy talking to him, and just looked around and admired Santa's Christmas tree. He gave a great smile for the camera again, and I've had a lot of fun comparing this year's photo to last year's. He's looking off to the side in both pics, with a similar expression, and its so fun to see how much he has changed!

Thomas is definitely on the "nice list" this year, because he is getting spoiled!!! =)

Wow, looks like Thomas enjoyed Santa so much more than Ayden did! Hi Laidlaws!! It was so good to hear from you guys. We thought we lost touch with you guys...Jeremiah lost all the phone #'s he had for Ryan & we sent you a Christmas card "hoping" it would find you somehow! So its good to know we found you guys again! =) And how exciting that you will be our neighbors soon!! We will for sure have to get together & let the boys play...they would have a blast! I can't believe that they are only 2 weeks apart!! Talk to you guys soon!

So cute. It even looks like "santa claus" is the same santa! I love looking at the two pictures together! He has grown so much!

Very cute, Darci! I'm glad he was happy for you! Jason HATED Santa...as I'm finding many other kids do, as well. Your little Thomas must be an easy going, sweet little guy! Happy Holidays!
