This was a year of firsts with having Grandpa and Grandma Kohl living close to us for Christmas. We got to see them multiple times over the Christmas break. It is sure nice to have them close for our kids to get to know them better! The best part about this Christmas was that Nate's grandpa and grandma Kohl flew out here from South Carolina to visit for a week. It had been many years since we last saw them, so it was wonderful to reconnect and spend time with them. We had a fun Kohl family Christmas party the day after the Hess family party. We once again had lots of good food, played lots of fun games, and spent some time hearing about Christmases of the past from great-grandpa and grandma Kohl. We were quite partied out after two days of it, so it was nice to spend the next day, Christmas Eve, at home as a family. :)
Nate's mom had a bunch of Christmas minute to win it games that we played as teams. There was marshmallow snowman building, balancing the ornaments, paper cup Christmas trees, marshmallow (snowball) toss, and balloon filled panty hose. The last game was the left/right game where we passed around presents while Nate's mom read a story about the right family. :) Everyone ended up with a dollar store gift. Some of those are displayed in pictures below.
It was a great time and we look forward to this new tradition at Christmas time!!
