Christmas at the Van Grouws

We were at my parents from Wednesday night to Saturday morning.
Since Christmas morning brought sickness on the Post side
We decided to have our individual Van Grouw Christmas that night,
which turned out to be a good thing since Dad and Curt got sick on Saturday :(

The six grandchildren lined up in order
(4 1/2, 3 1/2, 2 1/2, 9 mos, 9 mos, 8 mos)

Avery wanted to get this party started

Aubrey waiting for everyone to come, so she was coloring

the Kaisand family

Christmas morning - over here, girls ;)


Grandpa and Grandma Van Grouw and the girls

Last Christmas these babies were in utero,
now they are here and CUTE :)

Barbies and furniture for Aubrey

Avery's one BIG present

Avery was more into eating the paper than the presents



Anna dress!

books from Great Grandma Van Grouw Bandstra 


"Dora and Friends" doll and charm bracelet!

Camryn and Aubrey quickly set up their Barbie stuff

LOTS of fun playing with the six kiddos!


 Thanks, Jessica! I put it up in the living room already!

Avery playing with Weston

We didn't have a lot of gifts because we got an IPAD
from Mom and Dad VG! Awesome!

Daddy reading from Aubrey's new book

Aubrey decided she wanted to strip right in the middle
of it all to put on her new jammies and Anna dress! :)

Aubrey, Camryn, and Gavin singing Christmas songs

Silly girls got to have another sleepover (their 2nd) at Grandma's!
They did so well - they have so much fun together.

Lots of fun with the cousins!

Goodnight girls, with Grandpa VG 


More fun on the ipads


Unfortunately our trip was cut short due to Dad and Curt
getting sick, too! But, we did get our party in and had some good
quality family time while we were there!
We were glad we were able to make it up there for a few days.
