52/52

So excited to have completed a year of weekly Koceich Family postings. 2011 was a blessed year and we expect even greater things to come in 2012.


After a precious time of reading about the birth of Jesus and praying as a family, we had some time to open a few gifts before more family came.


books are her favorite thing


can't go wrong with Legos and little boys


and you especially can't go wrong with anything pink and sparkly for Abby


now he feels like one of the big kids with his very own pillow pet


Madison gets her love of books from her Daddy


a Christmas morning snack to hold us over until the traditional breakfast burritos are made




coming out youngest to oldest to see what Santa brought


her first Toms


perfect for my silly girl


a mad game of mad libs with two really smart people. I'm sure it was a witty story!


Christmas #2 on the 26th at Grandma and Grandpa's house


I think he might be a little happy about his Lightening McQueen car...love how his siblings are sharing in the excitement

More fun with Jingle the elf...


* apparently, they like to drink red and green milk at the north pole


* he said our reindeer could be a candidate for Santa's sleigh


* he was not happy that we hadn't wrapped any present to put under the tree...it's our assignment for today!


* one of his better hiding spots...

a Christmas choir concert, a gymnastics meet and a little mischief from Jingle the Elf...


* I love that my preteen isn't "too cool" to wear her Santa hat! :) That makes her the COOLEST!!


That smile says it all! My girl loves performing!




Stinker!


He's been trying to figure out how to get our radio to play more Christmas music all week!
