We had a WONDERFUL first Christmas with our boy! We started celebrating the week before Christmas with our annual party with the Rice and Eskew families, then we got to see Shay's dad's side of the family at his parents' house where Shay took part in a 5 hour long game of Hearts...and he and his dad won the second game! Trust me, this is a big deal in the Koch family :)
On Christmas Eve, Shay and I had my parents and Jon and Whitney over for dinner. Shay made an amazing shrimp and grits dinner and we had some good wine and opened presents. Some highlights: Jon got a USC snuggie and Shay got an adult size onesie (it's a long story...)
On Christmas morning, Rivers saw that Santa brought lots of Elmo things, some winter clothes, and he got to see his presents from Uncle Jon and Aunt Whit from the night before. Then we had lunch with my mom's side of the family at her house, and let's just say Rivers was not starving for attention!
I think Rivers' favorite gift came a few days after Christmas from Aunt Katie - she gave him a new cousin to play with! Baby Jack was born Dec. 28 and is such a cutie pie. I know they will grow up being the best of friends! I will post some pics of him when I get some that are not on my phone. Happy New Year everyone!
