The Celebration Continues

Thursday evening we went over to Kevin's sister's house to celebrate Christmas with Amy and her family.  Isabelle was the lucky recipient of a Radio Flyer scooter!  (Along with an Olivia book, sticker book, and jeans!)  She loves the scooter and has even learned how to push off with her feet and glide across the kitchen floor a little ways.  I am sure by the time summer roles around she will be a professional. :)  (Now mommy is going to have to start looking for a helmet for her to wear this summer!)  Anyways...we had a great time seeing them and Grandma and Grandpa Larsen as well.  Enjoy the pictures!

We hope you all have a wonderful last day of 2011!

Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's

Monday we went over to Kevin's parents to celebrate Christmas with them and Uncle Dan.  Isabelle loved opening everyone's presents and playing with her new toys.  She was also very excited to see their cat Sammy again. :)  Below are some pictures from the day.

A ride in a box is just as fun as toys!

It was another great day with family.  We are so thankful that our parents live so close to us and we can see them often.  We have one more Christmas celebration left with Kevin's sister and her family this week. 

We hope the Christmas spirit stays with you all week (year) long!

A Van Slyke Christmas

After our Christmas at home we headed over to my parents house for the day.  My sister and her family, along with my Uncle Dave were there.  Isabelle and her cousins had lots of fun playing and opening their stockings and gifts.  Enjoy the pictures!

Time to see what Santa (and Grandma and Grandpa) brought!

After lunch and Isabelle's nap the kids changed into their new pajamas and had lots of fun playing together!

My dad was showing us a sword from WWII.

Thank you everyone for the generous and thoughtful gifts we received.  It was a wonderful Christmas Day full of family and fun.  The day after Christmas we spent the day at Kevin's parents house....stay tuned for pictures!
