Here Comes Santa Claus...
Wednesday evening I heard about a boys baseball team having a fundraiser in which we could have pictures taken with Santa Claus. I thought about taking Nicholas to the Santa in the mall, but I really wanted to get a picture with all the kids. So Wednesday evening after dinner we headed over to a local shopping center. We walk up and Nicholas is so excited he can hardly contain himself. When it's our turn, he runs up to Santa, while shouting, 'Santa' and literally jumps into his lap. I was about to bawl right there to see Nicholas so excited. Olivia and Claire, on the other hand, nonchalantly walk up to Santa Claus and we get pictures with Santa. Nicholas starts talking very excitedly to the surprised Santa and I hear words like helicopter, toys, cars from Nicholas.
It was a wonderful moment and afterward the kids bought hot chocolate and cookies.

What a wonderful post and I love the pictures with Santa!
I can hear it in your voice how much you are madly in love with your Nicholas. It warms my heart to hear how happy you were to see him so excited to meet santa and tell him what he wanted for christmas! To live our lives through our children, nothing beats it!
Merry Merry!
Awww! That brought tears to my eyes! It is so amazing how we (and our children) take so much for granted. What a blessing for all to be able to see the joy in a child who is experiencing it for the first time!
SO Happy for you all!

I'll be the third Julie to comment on this post :) The excitement in your children's faces leaps off this photo! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas - celebrating Nicholas' first in the States!!
So behind on the blogs....lots of catching up to do! Nicholas seems to be doing so great. What a handsome boy he is and the girls are beauties also. Sweet pics with Santa! Sounds like you had a great apt in Almaty. Ours was good but far from everything. We totally noticed the different sized steps too. We tripped over them often! ;) Hope you had a fabulous first Christmas with Nicholas!
Am loving your new posts and all the "firsts" for Nicholas that you and he discover together.
