Belated Christmas Celebration

We had planned to celebrate Christmas with Scott's family the second weekend in January.  Unfortunately, the stomach bug that is going around hit Linda and they couldn't make it.  We postponed to this weekend, but this time she got hit with the flu.  She's had an unlucky streak lately with illness! Karsten was really looking forward to playing with Trent and Taylor, so we went ahead and went to Kelli's for the day.

Kelli and David have a new addition to their family - this is Casey, their puppy.  She loves to give kisses - especially to Liam.


He love it - he giggled every time she kissed him.


Our happy little guy!


It was nice enough for the boys to play outside, and they had a good time chasing Casey around the yard.


I wonder what they're planning?


He had so much fun with his cousins.


The boys were patiently waiting to open Christmas gifts when David got home from work.  As soon as he walked through the door, they made a beeline for the presents.

Taylor was excited about the books we got him!


And Karsten loved his dinosaur umbrella from Kelli and David!




Everyone had fun playing Karsten's new game - 'Don't wake daddy!'.


Casey was worn out from entertaining all the boys!


David and Trent went outside to play ball and the other boys watched wistfully.


It was getting cooler as the sun went down, so we all got bundled up and headed outside.  How cute is this picture!


And this one?!


Watching Trent ride the quad.


More fun with the umbrella!  I wish Karsen would be a ham for the camera like Taylor is.


We had a great dinner, then before we headed home, we had a facetime call with Linda.  The boys enjoyed chatting with her.  We're all looking forward to our rescheduled celebration!
