Hello Aunt Barbie! (and Kim, Jeff, Lilly, and Luke)

After a busy shopping day for new fall clothes at Jordan Creek Mall with Grandpa and Grandma Van Slyke it was time to play with the Disney Princess car and then time for a nice relaxing swing.

After the busy day of shopping and playing, Isabelle had some very important visitors come by in the evening.  My Aunt Barbie from West Lafayette, Indiana, my cousin Kim, her husband Jeff, and their two kids Lilly and Luke from Raleigh, North Carolina came by to see her  They are all in Iowa for the annual Van Slyke side family reunion on Saturday.

My Aunt Barbie and I have always been extremely close and I was so excited for her to finally meet Isabelle!! Although Kim and I are cousins, we have always been more like good friends and it was great to get our kids together!
