Christmas Eve Celebration

This year for our annual Hirschy Christmas we celebrated on Christmas Eve. Mom had to work so we decided to keep our meal simple and picked up Papa Murphy's pizza. Yummy! We had some breadsticks, salad and various desserts and had a delicious supper! Afterwards, we listened to my dad read the Christmas Story and then tore into presents ;o) Then we played White Elephant Bingo for more fun gifts. A special and fun time was enjoyed by our entire family as we celebrated the birth of our Savior.

To grandmother's house we go......................

Clowning around during picture time.

Grand-pa and Caleb have a special bond and Caleb was

thrilled to see 'Ganpa' again!
