Our visit to see Santa

First of all, I need to start this by saying THANK YOU to Nolan's Aunt Erin and Aunt Allison (my two close girlfriends from the General), who waited in line with Nolan and me for TWO hours to see Santa yesterday. That is true dedication and love, and Brian and I both really, really, really appreciate it! Nolan loves you both so much, as you can see by these pics!

So once we finally made it to the front of the line, the people in front of us thought they were purchasing a Normal Rockwell photo and spent FOREVER deciding on what photo of their family to buy. While this was frustrating, it gave us a chance to introduce Nolan to Santa so that he wouldn't freak out.

(Since we didn't send Christmas cards this year, here's a family photo for everyone)

And the professional photos - as you can see, Nolan was a happy little dude and really enjoyed his time with Santa. Unfortunately, none of us understand baby talk, so we aren't quite sure what he asked Santa to bring him this year for Christmas.
