It’s been a very sad week for my family.  For those who may not know, my father passed away unexpectedly last Sunday.  We have been trying really hard to pick up the pieces of our broken hearts, but for the time being, these pictures of Bennett meeting Santa for the first time will have to fill the void of the lack of laughter and smiles we have been suffering the last few days.

For Bennett, meeting Santa went exactly as I had expected.  At first it was uncertainty, and soon after it was a full blown meltdown from “Stranger Danger”.  Hopefully next year he will be more at ease with Mr. Claus!
