Christmas with the Koch's

A little Wii challenge. Hailey was some stiff competition for Adam in the hula-hoop contest. Adam came through and pulled out ahead... it's all in the backside!Brotherly kindness. Thanks for the help Albert.
So this game started out with Adam throwing the kids onto the couch and then it turned into this. Adam and Dave actually got carried away and made a full revolution and the kids were loving every second of it.


Charlie loved having wrapping paper roll fights with Uncle Michael.
Christmas Eve, fondue dinner... my favorite.
...And for dessert, a little Egg Nog. Charlie and Reese were lining up to take a sip, they kept coming back for more, thanks Dadoo!.
The two little buddies playing a few Christmas carols and entertaining the crowd.
We had a special program that consisted of excellent actors for the nativity scene. The cast: Mary(Hailey), Joseph (Noah), baby Jesus (Claire), Shepard's (Audrey, Jordan, Ben) a sheep (Clara), Three Wise Men (Bradley, Mason, Charlie-not a fan of the costume) and the Angel (Reese).
Speed slippers!! For years growing up a friend of the family would knit slippers each year for the kids and give them as a Christmas gift. After collecting many slippers over the years there is now a large collection. Every Christmas Eve the hallway floors are waxed, the slippers pulled out, and the slip-sliding begins, with only minor injuries each year.
Charlie and Reese on Christmas morning checking out their stocking goods. Charlie was a huge fan of his recorder/flute (by far his favorite gift). He would blow into it and then crack-up, he repeated that over and over, finding it funny every time.
Christmas day line-up.
A little blurry but I love this picture. Charlie opened his Elmo and he had a look on his face of pure glee.
