Santa Clause Has Come to Town

Nicholas had his first meeting with Santa Clause on Friday. Yes, I am going to be one of those parents who is going to torture my child every holiday season by making him sit on a total strangers lap for my enjoyment!!!! I figured that this may be the only picture for a couple of years that I might be able to get with Nicholas not crying while with Santa. Santa's elf's are pretty hi-tech, instead of buying 1 picture for some ridiculous price they take 3 and put them on one of those memory sticks ( I think they are called flash somethings.)

I can't wait for the holidays this year. I have almost all my shopping done. At this point what ever I haven't gotten is going to have to be ordered online. There is no way I am going to battle through crowds or pick through trashed stores.

On that note, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Nicholas' Big Week

Saturday November 8th was Nicholas' Christening. It actually was the first party that Michael and I have thrown by ourselves. I really waited until the last minute to do everything (like the Monday before) which made things a little more hectic then they needed to be. I shopped for party deco on Monday, called the caterer on Tuesday, and on Wednesday Nicholas got to meet Catherine and Sophia while Momma went to a meeting. The Nick had a lot of fun with the girls.

For some reason on Thursday I decided to try Nick's suit on. I couldn't believe it! He had actually out grown the suit in 3 weeks. I thought "no big deal, I just go and exchange it for the next size up." Friday was almost a total melt down. Why do store have short suits out?, isn't it Fall time in Connecticut?!!! Needles to say around 6pm on Friday Michael and I had located a suit.
Nicholas was so good all day. He was really having a good time in the church, I think he liked all the attention. Msgr told us that "If he cries during the cleansing he is going to be a saint, if he doesn't then he's going to be the child who runs around the church during mass on Sunday's." So I guess we are going to have to get use to the dirty looks because Nicholas thought it was tubby time and laughed.

It was nice to have had all of the our family with us for Nick's Baptism.

Happy Halloween

Well Nicholas had his 1st Halloween. He was the most delicious slice of pepperoni and pepper pizza. We went to Grammi's house for some trick or treats. I took a chance and left a basket of candy out on the steps. I figured that if any kids walked all the way up the hill they could have all the candy they wanted. Michael and I were shocked to see that there was candy left in the basket when we got home. Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween, can't wait to see all the pictures!!
