Christmas With the Kochs!

Christmas 2008 was the best Christmas we could have ever imagined and probably the best we will ever have!!! The kids flew in on Friday December 19 and left the following Friday. Rather than doing Christmas on the 25th and not allowing the kids to have much time to play with their presents, we sent Santa a note requesting that we have Christmas every morning. Because the kids were so great this year (and every year really!) Santa responded by leaving a bag of presents labeled with each day of the week for the kids to open. Here's a sample of just some of the amazing things we go to do while the kids were here in Denver...

Friday night- got a foosball table

Saturday- went to a Mammoth lacrosse game, Kenzie got a new doll and tons of accessories, Kyler got a new trumpet!

Sunday- Kyler got a new phone

Monday- went to an Avs practice, rented the ice for the four of us to skate, Kyler got a new cell phone with unlimited texting and Kenzie got new ice skates!
Tuesday- Kenzie and i went to the Nutcracker, went to an Avs game

Thursday- the kids got a sled and got to sled on Christmas for the first time!

I'm probably forgetting little details just because the week was so awesome and really made us enjoy the family we are surrounded by. Here are some pictures so you all can be jealous of the best Christmas ever! haha (just kidding of course)

These are our AWESOME stockings that my mom and I made.... yes MADE!

Inspired by Becca Duvall!

For those of you that don't know, Becca Duvall is a great friend we made last year in Amarillo. We have been separated because of her husband being the best broadcaster in the CHL, but I always know what's going on in her life because of her great blog. So Becca, not only have you inspired me to work at Wells Fargo, but also to begin the blogging process. Hope this helps everyone keep up with our great family and the blessings that God provides us with each day. Enjoy!
