First Official Visit to Santa's Cottage

Nicholas did make it over to Santa's Cottage at The Grove last year, but he was still in Maureen's womb at the time, so this was the first time he'd get some actual facetime with Santa. As usual, he really didn't know what to make of the situation. I can tell you that he probably would have rather played with a piece of toast on the floor, but he still had to be introduced to the Man in Red and White.

As we approached, Santa extended his finger. He said that if Nicholas would take his finger, then he'd probably be ok sitting on his lap. Our Nick didn't take his finger and started to cry. Maureen had to jump into the picture in the same way she did last year with John. As you can see, neither boy is crying, but they don't look too happy either. Oh well, there's always next year.
