Christmas Eve

We started Christmas Eve by attempting to go to church. We actually found some seats in the very back. Unfortunately, Jackson thought church was a huge playground and only wanted to goof around. We lasted no more than 15 minutes before we had to high tail it outta there! We left before mass even started!! And get this, Jackson cried as we left. He wanted to stay at church and play! I was like, who cries because they have to leave church?!?!

After that we headed to my grandparents house. That's generally where we spend Christmas Eve. It was hard. Christmas was my grandma's favorite holiday and the fact that she wasn't there made it very difficult. We made the best of it though. We cried, we laughed, we remembered her. My step-dad dressed up as Santa so that certainly lightened the mood. It was pretty funny actually! Jackson had a great time despite eventually having a major melt down from being way overstimulated and completely exhausted!
