Every year we’ve taken Oliver to visit Santa at the Bramalea City Centre. When Santa comes there, he is always in a good mood and Oliver really enjoys seeing him. It’s also really fun to have a “family photo” taken with Santa each year. You can see how much we’ve changed over the past three years just by comparing the photos (year one here and year two here). Oliver is really growing up quickly!

Cheers!

Last year we took Oliver for the first time to visit Santa at the Bramalea City Centre and we had a lot of fun. Surprisingly to us, Oliver was very good with Santa. We’ve all heard horror stories of kids fearing Santa and I must say, we were a little relieved to know that was not going to be the case with our sweet Oliver.

So when it was time to take Oliver to see Santa this Christmas, we’d hoped the outcome would be the same as last year. And sure enough, Oliver didn’t disappoint. This year, we had to wait in line for a bit to get our chance with Saint Nick. The family in front of us had barely cleared Santa’s knee when Oliver went running towards him, arms outstretched, calling his name. It’s one time I’d die to replay over again so I could have the chance to record the moment. It was that cute.

So I guess we’ll just have to settle for the pictures below. Luckily for us, they are pretty wonderful in their own right!

Cheers!

Oliver is getting so big now! We took him for his first hair cut at a local hairdressers called Melonhead. Oliver put on his serious face, as you can see from the photos. He was very good during the whole process, finding a new favourite toy: the hammerhead shark. I certainly didn’t realize just how long Oliver’s hair was until I saw the before and after pictures. It was pretty out of control!

We then treated ourselves to some Burger King afterwards! Yum!

Cheers!

Last year Oliver was only 26 days old when Christmas came around and that didn’t leave us a heck of a lot of time to introduce him to Santa beforehand. So, this year we made a point of checking his schedule and going and meeting with Saint Nick at the Bramalea City Centre when he was there.

As suspected, Oliver had no problem with the Big Guy in Red, smiling and looking curiously at Santa’s full white beard.

We were also lucky enough to get a couple of family photos done with Santa which was a really nice keepsake. I can’t remember the last time I had my photo taken with Santa Claus, but it’s been a really long time!

Enjoy the photos!
