Let's get this party started!

This weekend was a big party weekend. Ryan and I went to his work holiday party on Friday night and on Saturday we had two family parties as well. It was a very fun weekend, but we were thankful for the snowy Sunday to recover and relax!!

We started off the day with my mom's side of the family. Very fun day!!

Layla helped Grandma Barb make sugar cookies on Friday night. She was excited to eat the cookies on Saturday. Here Uncle Chris was helping Layla find the perfect cookie.

Pretty proud of her choice!

Must go show "Big Mama" (great grandma)!!! Layla did have tights on but they were removed due to the wood stairs that Layla was a frequent climber on all day :)

Cassie (with her brand new camera!) and Grandma Barb

Joan and Grandma

Present time! Layla was enamored by this doll from Mark and Robin, and she loved the "biaper bag!"

Layla and Shea loved Liam's new ball popper

Yeah, Uncle Mark!!! (Sorry about the closed eyes, you were 4/4!)

Onto the Sloan Family Party

My dad's extended family gets together every year for Christmas. Great aunts and uncles, aunts and uncles, cousins and second cousins....it is like a family reunion but it happens each year instead of every ten.

Our little family of three four

Me and silly Layla

Classic Layla....pointer finger in the air to make a point!

A whirlwind Saturday....I can't believe Christmas is almost here!!!
