Santa came early to see Hayden!!

[Hayden's Dad]

As some of you know my 22mnth old son has been diagnosed with a terminal disease and is in the care of Hospice. Well this past Friday they made something very magical happen!! Santa came to see Hayden in October. We met him at a local photography studio that volunteers for Hospice as well and it was the second most magical experience we have ever had with Hayden. (The first was the first time he met Mickey in May :mjump::mickey:) This was also the first time Hayden had the opportunity to meet Santa, last year he was sick and thye were not sure what was wrong at the time and were concerned with his immune system so we didn't want to take the chance. Hayden was a little fussy at first so we readjusted him and took off his socks (It was hot in the studio, poor Santa used to the North Pole) and then he was great. Hayden's cousins came as well so we could get some good shots of the kids with Santa, but he was really there for Hayden and it was wonderful. We are planning on visiting Santa a couple more times while at DW here in about 4 weeks, but I am not sure if they can beat this! Although I have no doubt seeing Mickey again will. :santa3: :D
