Christmas Week 2014

Grandpa Jim, Grammie Liz, and Kasie came to MN to be with us for Xmas this year. The week was filled with many amazing memories and surprises (like Aunt Kimmy coming into town). The Kohls family spent a lot of the time at the hockey rink watching Canyon and Presley play hockey. Both kids scored goals for their relatives. Ronnie also made sure they got to experience a traditional hockey tailgate before the game.






We took the Kohls out to experience the famous Juicy Lucy at Matt's bar. Thumbs up from all!



The Kohls took all the kids (including Kim and Trisha) shopping at the Mall of America. The kids had a blast and now have a real appreciation for shopping ("uh oh").



Our week was filled with our traditional Christmas week activities including our annual pizza making party, Christmas Eve service at the Upper room, and a great Christmas Eve dinner. This year Aunt Carol, Uncle Bob, and Great Granny joined us for dinner. We ended dinner with a great rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas by the fire.




And Santa totally surprised everyone with amazing gifts for all! We enjoyed a leisurely morning opening presents and eating lots of treats!





On the 26th, we headed down to Red Wing to have an amazing lunch with the cousins at Smokin' Oak followed by a competitive game of bowling at the local bowling alley. And as the week came to an end, we finally got our white christmas on the evening of the 26th so Kasie could tell her friends back home that it really does snow in MN.
