Christmas Eve #BabyMadison gets a visit from Santa

(download)
Tonight we were lucky enough to have Santa Claus drop by for a visit at our house!  Madison was playing in front of the tree when Santa Dropped by...   We were not sure how Madison would react, but it didn't take long to find out! 

She has been around Santa before, and she loves to meet people, but I think it was loud and surprised here...and the reaction was classic.  Regrettably the lighting was low, but I got the clip on the video camera and Emily snapped a couple of great still shots!

After the visit from Santa, we went to see the lights at Opry Mills Hotel and walk around the wonderful decorations there.  We had a great time tonight with Grammy and Gramps! (and everybody but Madison had a great time with Santa Claus)

Like Father, Like Son (and #BabyMadison)

I found this picture of my dad holding me ... and then Emily took this pic of me holding Madison and I couldn't pass up the chance to show off the resemblance.

The pic on the left is from my first Christmas ... I was 5 1/2 months old.  On the right, I'm holding Madison and she is about 9 1/2 months old, and getting ready for her first Christmas!
