Christmas Eve, we met Heather, Jane and Cassie for dinner at Cheddars. I was shocked by how many people were out. I thought we were the only group who wasn’t home eating a home-cooked meal!

Dinner with this group was the perfect way to spend Christmas Eve.

JP and I had lunch with his dad and family on Christmas Day.

There was a time when JP left on Christmas Day. I would sit home and cry. I selfishly wanted him to be with me. I hated splitting time during the holidays.

We’ve come a long way.

JP is so happy when we’re all together. Watching his face and feeling his (pure) joy is the best gift.

Love wins. Every time.

I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas!
