Koopman Christmas

Our last family Christmas party has come and gone. We just came home from our Koopman Christmas party. We all got to reconnect as we have not all come together since our Koopman camping this summer. Sadly Paul, Carol, Hadassah and Josiah couldn’t make it down for Christmas this year. Everyone else was in attendance though.

Following the opening of the kids’ presents we all got to play some sports – mainly hockey and some basketball. Supper came which was a feast of pizza, KFC chicken and salads and much much more. After supper the adults gave out some presents and we then had an opportunity to play more sports and the wonderful word game Take.

Hope we can get together again soon and also can't wait to meet the newest addition to the Koopman family in March.

Koomans Christmas

We had our Koomans family Christmas party yesterday at Brian and Jenny's house. We all had a good time and Aunt Jenny did a great job cooking. Thanks so much! Next year it's at Melissa's ;o)

I thought I would post some pictures and not write too much. As you can see the kids just wanted to open presents, not have the cameras in their faces ;o)

First Day Off of School

School is out!! Today was our first day of Winter Break. The boys were excited and up early, while Mom and Savannah wanted to stay in bed a little longer. We eventually got up and started at the day with some tidying up around the house.

We had a great time today as we made Christmas Cookies. Our friends Beau and Tucker joined us in our adventure in the kitchen. The kids were so eager to help and some even more eager to eat ;o)
