Santa Claus is coming to Town...

With Christmas fast approaching (...holy shit!  2 weeks?  you'd think being on mat leave, I'd have a better handle on all this by now), the kids have been gearing up for the "big guy"'s arrival for some time.  Rowan is still a little timid when it comes to the man in red, but he's eagerly awaiting the arrival of Christmas Presents, and he's belting out carols at the top of his lungs on an hourly basis.  I'm thinking he "gets it". 

So far, Santa has come to Oma's work, and we got to sit and have cookies with him in Marmora, then came the Uxbridge parade (Rowan's favourite floats were the 2 train floats and the Cat in the Hat float...go figure), and then last weekend, he visited Santa at Sweet World Media, here in town.  Local photographer, Deborah De Ville (check out her work!  http://www.deborahdeville.ca/ ), did all the pics, with proceeds going to the Bonner Boys Splash Pad fund.  Here's the shots:

Rowan and Miss G just checkin' out the big guy, and not entirely sure yet...

Rowan warming up (probably 'cause he was positioned a "safer distance" away, and could tell him all about the engines he was hoping for...from afar)

Super-cute shot of Miss G and the Man in Red...

Let the festivites begin!
