For the 12th year in a row we visited Meder’s in Pittsburgh, PA to see Santa. It’s been a tradition my husband and I started the year we were married. When we were in Pittsburgh for the holiday, we went to visit Santa at this adorable local store called Meder’s.

I’ll never forget going in 2003 and Santa asking me what I wanted for Christmas and I said, “A baby.”

Our William joined us in our family photo that next year… all 3 months of him.

This year we went with our 5 kids…

… it was a special moment this year because this is the completion of our family. Our 4 sons and 1 daughter.

I loved seeing all of their faves light up when Santa asked what they wanted for Christmas (even though they all asked for MacBooks!).

Beautiful moment.

Beautiful memories.
