And just because I have the biggest kid on the playground:
On Christmas Eve, everyone came over to our house for a (homemade, gotta brag) lasagna dinner. We had my mom and John, Nelson's parents, my dad, and Lindsay and Ben and the boys. When Jackson and Dean wheeled Kennedy's Christmas present in full of presents for everyone, they got started right away. I think everything was open in about five minutes?
Cousin pictures are nearly impossible.
The wagon helped a little.
And we should've known these wouldn't have worked.
But she's pretty good at taking pictures with us :)
After dinner, Kennedy went on some wagon rides around the house and played with some of her new toys - bows included.
But before she went to sleep, we all put on our matching Christmas pajamas because I know, right?! :)
On Christmas morning, Kennedy woke up around her usual time, but everyone else was still asleep. That gave me and my favorite girl some time to spend together on her first Christmas before it became crazy busy and full of things to do. It was a nice, quiet morning at home eating some breakfast and playing with new toys.
Since she's such a fan of the wagon and it was a pretty (just cold) day outside, we walked to my mom's house to spend the rest of the day with extended family.
It was an exhausting day (see below), but so much fun spending it with family. Leanne drove in from Houston that morning, but my dad had to drive back. Audrey and Liz joined for Christmas dinner, and my mom's cousin Travis and his family spent the day, along with his mom Brenda.
When we got home, Nelson, Leanne, and I quickly put together my dad's present for Kennedy: a princess carriage. Because of course. Kennedy loves being pushed around the house in it. You can take out the floor and she can one day walk herself Flintstone style, and the horse's reigns also come in the front to pull like a wagon.
This was taken this morning, but Kennedy also got a ball pit from Santa! He must have left one of the boxes at the North Pole, because we had 500 balls with no ball pit on Christmas Eve....
And this is how we all felt that night. Exhausted, full, but so happy and blessed to spend the holiday with ones we love.
