Christmas Eve Party= Success!!

Christmas time this year flew by! I swear I blinked on Black Friday and next thing I knew it was Christmas Eve! We did our usual Christmas routine, we went to Uncle Jake's house for his Christmas Eve party which this year JJ went inside!! Yes you read that right I am so happy he actually went inside! We have been going to "Uncle Jake's Mommy and Daddy's Christmas party" for 3 yes 3 years now and never once have we made it past the front room. Every year we walk in and go about 3 steps in the door to the first couch and that is where we spend the night, away from the crowd, away from noise, away from fun. But not this year! This year John decided that it was cold right next to the door and maybe we could find another corner that was still quiet but maybe warmer. So off we went for a warm corner we walked threw all the people over to the living room next to the fire place. John took off his coat (one thing about John is he WILL NOT take off his jacket if he is uncomfortable. I swear it's so he can run out the door at any given second if he doesn't like whats going on) but anyway he took off his jacket.... then his shoes. My boy was VERY comfortable! One thing you have to understand is Uncle Jake (Uncle Jake is Andrew's best friend, he met JJ when JJ was about 2, right after JJ was diagnosed with autism) is that Uncle Jake is one of the most sincere, nicest people you will every meet. Also Uncle Jake loves JJ and Julia, in a way only and Uncle could. And of course Uncle Jake gives the best gifts... electric drum sets for a 3 year old.... yes those kinds of "best gifts" but we love Uncle Jake! Uncle Jake has always went well out of his way at his Xmas Eve party to make sure JJ is comfortable. This year JJ fell in love with Jake's dad... who well he tried to get JJ to call him Uncle Leo will always be known as "Uncle Jake's Dad". JJ spent most of the night letting Uncle Jake's Dad know when the fire was low. He talked to Uncle Jake's Dad, he played with a little girl about his age and just had the best time!!
