Christmas with the Kohrs

24 adults and 7 kids (ages ranging from 8 months to 8 years) = Kohr Christmas 2012

Oh Paige!








Nice photo bomb Ben!


Hilarious!




Not the best looking jello!










Typical!














Dancing!








"Do you think they would notice if we turned on Mickey Mouse?!?!"


Patiently waiting!




After the kids finished opening their gifts, they watched a movie while the adults had a turn at opening gifts!




She couldn't make it any longer!


And next year we will add 2 more babies to the craziness!

(Thanks for picking up my camera Kate - otherwise, there probably would have been only 5 pictures!)

On his actual birthday, Luke woke up before Wally left for school so he was able to open his presents right away!

He got a few other gifts, but the big gift was a new big boy bike!  He had to find it behind the door in the basement!



In true Luke fashion, he didn't get overly excited about it right away, but he does love it and calls it his Mongoose!





Luke had school which he was actually really excited about since he got to hand out treats!



It was also the day of his monthly prayer service so Paige and I stayed for that. She was so excited to see the birthday boy in church that she waved and then ran out of the pew to give him a hug!



After school and lunch, Paige took a nap and Luke and I had a game day!



When Wally got home, we took Luke outside to ride his bike!







It seems to be becoming a tradition to head to Buffalo Wild Wings for birthday dinners so that is just where we went and then we came back home for some cake!







And he was very excited to wear his new Batman pajamas to bed!



Happy #4 Lukey boy! We love you!

Merry Christmas From Our Family to Yours!

Christmas Starts NOW!

Tomorrow starts our four days of Christmas, but we have been celebrating all throughout the month.



We had a visit from St. Nick who brought the kids each a pair of Christmas jammies and an ornament!











We had Breakfast with Santa and have taken many rides to look at Christmas lights.



We have been opening our Advent calendar everyday.  Luke has been really good about always breaking off a piece of chocolate for Paige.  I think next year we will need 2 Advent calendars!





We have watched many Christmas movies and shows and baked cookies.



We have had Christmas Programs and Preschool Christmas Parties (where two little boys ate more than they decorated!).



(Terrible picture of Luke, but he wanted to show me the ice cream sundae he made!)






We have enjoyed the coziness of Christmas decorations.



We have shopped and wrapped and then shopped some more!



We have read many Christmas books and sang many Christmas songs.



We are ready for the big guy to make a stop at our house! 



We are ready to spend time with our families!  Though we have finally made the tough decision that traditions will have to change next year, we are excited to do it like we always have at least one last time!

We are ready for Christmas!  I hope you all are too!  Have a very merry one!
