For the first time we had to coordinate what time we would arrive at church, agree on a time to start the Christmas morning activities, and at the end of the each day...I am going home. It's all a bit strange but not all of it has been bad. Maverick and I are enjoying the peace and quiet of home and he likes the car rides to and from the house. This has also been the first year that I have been up and showered before everyone else in the family. And I didn't have to worry about hiding my gifts because I live someplace else.
Last night, as we do every Christmas Eve, we went to Christmas Eve Mass, got our Chinese food, watched Christmas Vacation and then Maverick and I went home to snuggle up at home for the night! Oh and did I mention we took the best Christmas picture ever....
Okay so for those of you who don't know...Rachel is holding our oldest dog Sugar, I am holding Maverick and Andrew is hoisting Mia up over his shoulders. Yes, my friends that is how we do Christmas in the Kocher Household.
This morning was fun as well...Maverick and I got up early and got ready to come over to the house and had coffee (me) and breakfast (him). We came over and played until everyone was ready! Rachel had the swell idea to play a trick on Andrew and they wrapped all of his presents and then put them in a box and wrapped the box. We kept handing out gifts and Drew didn't get anything...I was worried and thinking that Rachel was being mean I kept asking them to stop...until I finally realized what they were doing. Nice of them to clue me in!
So the presents are finally unwrapped...there were some pleasant surprises to the point that Rachel and I both looked at Mom and Dad like they were crazy! So on to our comfy, cozy family, and dog filled day of movies, pinball and food!
With Love Always,
Alex
