Nicholas & Nicholas

Mimi and I took Nicholas to visit Santa at the mall this afternoon.  He's been all pumped up about it for days, rehearsing over and over exactly what he was going to tell the big man he wanted for Christmas.  At the very top of the list was a Stormtrooper helmet and a Stormtrooper blaster, which I'm sure Santa will deliver.  He didn't hesitate for a second once it was his turn to hop on his lap and the shyness of last year was nowhere in sight.  They had a very sweet conversation between the two of them.  I didn't hear exactly what was said because I was off to the side letting him have his moment all to himself, but it looked important.  Then he capped off the visit with a gaggle of sweet smiles for the camera.  Total success!
