Christmas with the Koehls.

My parents also known as, "Poppy and Grandma" came to celebrate Christmas with us on New Years weekend. We had such a wonderful time, and as always it felt a little too short, but we made the best of the time we had. We always have so much together eating yummy food, playing games and laughing. The cousins always fight about who's house Poppy and Grandma get to sleep at.

Anna's always been crazy about her Poppy, but now she has Caleb who is equally excited about some Poppy time to compete with, and he's pretty persistent. He followed him around all weekend saying "C'mon Poppy" and then when Poppy had a bowl of ice-cream, Caleb ran and got his own spoon and climbed up on his lap just knowing his Poppy would share with him down to the last bite.

Kate loving on Grandma. She was so happy that Grandma found the walkable dog she had been wanting but she didn't think we would find because they had disappeared from all the stores a month before Christmas. She was so surprised.

Hannah is crazy about horses, and getting so good at riding them from all her lessons. The kids love to watch her ride.

Poppy and Grandma were so excited to get a picture calendar again this year. Lots of happy memories in those pages....

I always get my dad the same gift card, but each year try and trick him by putting it in a different size box. He always at least acts fooled anyways!

My mom had been wanting a pretty tea kettle because she loves her hot tea at night. I went on a search for a pretty one and I couldn't believe I found a tea kettle that matches her wall paper exactly. She was so excited!

My dad always finds a cute little Georgia gift for Jeremy each year. Jeremy never knows what he may get, but this year won the prize. Caleb and his daddy will have many years of fun "playing football" together.... We all got a good laugh when the first thing Caleb did was grab two players and make one start yelling "help" while the other was tackling him. Jeremy said, "Ok Caleb, first lesson you need to know is football players NEVER cry help"

Cant wait until our next visit!
