Nate visits Santa

I'll be completely honest and admit that I was not at all looking forward to taking Nate to see Santa this year.  The potential for disaster was high, and being in the last phase of pregnancy/bringing home a newborn doesn't tend to lend itself to wanting to take on high risk situations!  We decided it would be a great idea for Nana and Papa to take Nate.  So on Tuesday they headed for the mall while we took Cole to his first doctors appointment.  I had NO expectations as to how the picture would turn out.  Actually, I fully expected to get back one of those awesome screaming toddler pictures.  But, this is what we got......

our little man looking as happy as could be with good ole Santa.  Adorable.  And I don't know who bribed him to fold his hands like that!  So, I think from here on out, it may be a tradition for Nana and Papa to take the Penny boys for their Santa pictures...and maybe Mommy will just wait at Starbucks :-)
