William the Conqueror aka Prince William Meets Santa 2015

December 19, 2015 by Valerie Lugonja 7 Comments

From the mouth of the babe: Prince William’s First Christmas!

1 William and Santa 3

Oh, there is magic in the air.

2 William with Santa 9

Wonder. Hope. Miracles. Have Faith. Believe.

3 William and Santa 1

Believe.

4a William with Santa 12

The most powerful word in the English Language. Can you see the possibility?

4b William with Santa 13

You there mom? I am depending upon you.

5 William with Santa 6

You are there. I can try. I can try.

6 William and Santa

I can depend upon you. And daddy. And Him. And experience the magic and wonder of this world.

7 William with Santa 7

Because you are there. Present in my life. Nurturing. Devoted to my needs; my insatiable curiosity. I gain my strength and ability to believe as I look into your eyes.

8 William and Santa

I wasn’t so sure when I looked into his eyes. I looked and looked into his eyes.

9 William and Santa

And I am not so sure.

William with Santa 11

But you are there. I know I am safe with you.

I have such a wonderful life. I have the best mommy and daddy in the universe. Everyday I explore my world. The needles on the Christmas tree are sharp; I do not like that tree.  That bit of string on the rug was hard to pick up, but I did it. It took a while, but I did not stop until I conquered that string.

You are patient. You are kind. You are selfless. You let me explore my world and share the joy of each day through my eyes.

I am going to grow, grow and grow. And I want you to know, know, really know…. that I am the happiest little boy in the entire world…

…because I was born into this family.

I think there must have been a Santa in heaven who made my dreams come true.
