We went to the annual Lighting of Graceland this past weekend. It seem to be a lot shorter then last years but we are thinking that was because we showed up on time and not way early like last year! The weather was perfect this year too. I wore my coat and all I needed was a jacket. Jackson loved the snow (bubbles) falling and singing along with the songs. They had Skylar Laine, a top ten finalest from american idol come and sing and flip the switch with kids from the St. Judes hospital to turn on the Christmas lights. After Skyler sang Santa (Elvis style) came down from the house in his limo and all the kids could get pictures taken. We have been prepping Jackson for a couple weeks now showing him pictures of santa, watching Christmas movies with santa in it and coloring pictures of santa to try and make him not afraid when he sits on his lap... Well, it kinda worked.. ok not really but he was really excited that santa was there all the way up to when he was next to sit on his lap!
Looking at the snow falling
Jackson wouldn't look at the camera in any picture because of the snow coming down.
Santa trying to bribe Jackson into liking him with a candy
There was a group of kid singing in the building and they started back up right as Jackson went to sit on santa's lap. Santa got up and started dancing around with Ross and Jackson haha
I guess we'll try again next year!
