The BIG Man

It is the time of year where thousands of shoppers rush to the mall to find gifts for their friends and loved ones, the local Christmas tree farms are packed with people tagging their trees, and Christmas lights start to decorate houses. It is also the time of year where parents stand in long lines with their anxious children trying to get a glimpse of the big man in the red suit.

I always looked at those children waiting in line at the malls and wondered how my own children would like Santa. You always see the pictures with the children screaming in the picture because they are terrified of him...I must admit those pictures crack me up!

Michael and I decided to take Patrick last week to meet Santa because the lines for him are still very small since it is so early. Thank goodness we only had to wait about 10 minutes! At first, Michael was holding him and he wasn't quite sure of what to make of this big man with white beard. After a few minutes we figured it was now or never, and plopped him down on his lap. Patrick loved him! Of course! I don't know why I was so nervous of how he would react. This kid loves everyone. Seriously. The proof is in the picture!

I just cannot get enough of this kid. Seriously. He should be on commercials :)
