Christmas in Arizona

We're having a great time with Grandma Marvel and Grandma Wanda in Sun City this week! Check out our pics... that Jen posted by sitting outside a Peter Piper Pizza for the free wifi. Merry Christmas to all! xoxo, the Koskis

1st day on Foster

Christian, Bergen and I breached our 2 block neighborhood and went fishing. Bergen snagged 2 trout and I caught one later. Luke Shockman and Sam had some luck with the bluegills.
We finally have something to smoke in the smoker!!

Jay

Christian and Jay's Big Purple Adventure

Jay and Christian hit the dome last weekend for the Vikings' game. It was Christian's first NFL game -- and he loved it. (Bergen opted to stay at home, since, as he put it, he could "have a hot dog anywhere.")

Hockey Season

Christian's hockey team (coached by Jay) won their second game in a row last night. Here are some pictures of action...


Christian's the kid up front with the puck in this picture. Look at all the kids descending on him!



That's Jay, being all coachy, back there in the cage. Or whatever you call that place where the players and coaches stand.

Christmas Quote Answers!

This year's Christmas letter is a Koski Trailblazer for two reasons. First: It was the first letter -- I think -- to feature a blatant spelling error!! I can't believe I spelled "peeking" as "peaking." Horrified.

Second: This year's letter included our first-ever, fun-and-exciting Love Quote Mix-up! (Pause for ruckus applause.) For those of you who can't go another minute without the answers (and those of you who just stumbled upon this post by accident), here they are:

1. "Love one another." -- Jesus

2. "Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing." -- Mother Teresa

3. "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

4. "Love is the strongest force the world possesses, and yet it is the humblest imaginable." -- Mahatma Ghandi

5. "All you need is love." -- John Lennon

6. "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." (and) "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." -- The XIV Dalai Lama (psst... want to be inspired? Google more of his quotes.)
