We spent the day after Christmas with Isaac's parents in Faribault. Joel and Kristin came up from Chicago, and Evelyn and baby Annie came from Waseca. The best part was going sledding (the whole family!) in the backyard. Admittedly, it was mostly Nathaniel, Ana, Isaac, and Ellie, but the rest of us had a great time watching and taking pictures.
We had the traditional VanLoon Christmas dinner of lasagna, garlic bread, raspberry Schweppes, and sparkling juice. Mmmm. And Beth has switched to paper plates and plastic silverware, which is great because then we get to spend more time with her NOT in the kitchen! I love it.
Annie is ridiculously charming and will still go to anyone. Twice she fell asleep in her high chair while eating. Where do people get kids like that? I want one. She's at that fun stage where she can take a few steps, so we (okay, me!) kept trying to get her to walk from one person to another.
After dessert, we put Ellie to bed there and just hung out as a family. It was very nice.

Very fun. I LOVE the pictures.
I want one of those easy, smiling, chill kids too! Sledding looks fun. Makes me want to move back to Minnesota...or NOT!
