Hird Family Christmas

My whole family was able to be together for a week after Christmas. My dad rented a house in Richardson so we could all be together. It was so much fun! The first night we had our Christmas and opened gifts.

Penelope was super excited about all the gifts and helped everyone unwrap their gifts.

Christmas Eve and Day

Christmas Eve Matt and I both worked but we met up at Matt's parents house with his family for a big Christmas dinner and of course present opening! Landry and Evie were so much fun to watch, I think they were all the entertainment we needed!

The gang

Evie and Landry were pretty good at opening their presents

And even other peoples presents!

Once they got some toys they were done opening they just wanted to play

Evie's big present from Gramma and Grandpa was a cute little kitchen! Evie was definitely in her own world from then on and kept herself busy preparing all sorts of meals!

Evie calling her friends to tell them about her cool new kitchen!

Since I had to work Christmas Eve we went to our "Christmas Eve" service on Sunday Christmas day so we could all go together. My parents met up with us so we could see them part of the day.

Evie found the floor vents and thought it was pretty cool how they blew her dress up! We then headed over to the Reynolds for a Christmas day lunch with my family

A visit from Grandma and Papa

My parents were in town for 2 weeks over Christmas and got to spend lots of time lovin on little Evie! They had to soak up every bit of her before they went back overseas! They sure did have lots of fun together!
