We hung out at the house in the morning and during lunch Jackson told me his right ear hurt. I shrugged it off thinking he was just exaggerating and continued with lunch. But when BJ put him down for his nap 1/2 hour later, he had tears. So we got him up, got him dressed (yes, he was still in his jammies) and called the pediatrician. Closed at noon. Of course, the one day we need the doc, they took off at noon. And the East Wenatchee walk-in also closed at noon which is our backup. So I called the Wenatchee walk-in, up to a 2 hour wait. Awesome... thank goodness BJ pulled through with a great idea. There is a small walk-in at the bottom of our street not affiliated with the clinic (Columbia Valley Community Health) that is never busy. So I packed up Jacks and we headed down there. Twenty minutes later, we were in and out. Double ear infection for Jacksie. His first ever. I'm just glad it happened Christmas Eve and not Christmas day. The ER would NOT have been fun!
Later in the afternoon, we let the kids open two presents. Their Christmas jammies and their annual ornament I get them. Jackson got a Curious George and Audri got a Baby's First Christmas rocking horse. A fun tradition that I plan on continuing until they are old.
Then we changed them into their nice clothes because it was time to go to Nana and Papa's for their Christmas Eve gathering.
Mid-evening, Santa came bearing gifts. Jackson was so patient... his was at the very bottom of the bag.
When we got home, we let Jackson open one more gift. He loves the grinch that stole Christmas so we got him the book and a stuff Grinch.
And you might be thinking I messed up the order of the photos but no, I almost had a total mom fail. We put Jackson to bed and then came downstairs. A couple minutes later I realized we didn't put milk and cookies out for Santa. So, I got Jacks out of bed and had him come downstairs. Here he is putting them out. He told me it's a good thing we remembered. Santa would have been mad.
