We hope that everyone who has recently celebrated a special holiday, had a very enjoyable and memorable time celebrating with family and or friends. Usually I take too many pictures, but this Christmas I seemed to only snap a few. Yesterday morning, Tyler and I had fun opening gifts with our five kiddos, made our family’s favorite breakfast (bacon and pancakes), relaxed all day and then yesterday evening we went to a big Christmas party for my mom’s side of the family. C**t has missed the Christmas party for the last 3 years, because the idea of being around the noise from so many people completely overwhelms him… causing him to hide in his bedroom and refuse to leave the house. This year he did not want to go, but ended up agreeing. He did really well for about two hours, playing with his cousins and interacting with many adult family members… once he was done though, he was done. He had a minor meltdown and wanted to go home. Tyler left early with him, and although we were a little bummed, we were so incredibly proud of C**t for doing something that is hard for him. It means a lot to me to have C**t included in my family’s get togethers, so it was actually a special little bonus Christmas gift he gave me by choosing to attend for part of the party. ❤️
