Kyler got to spend the end of 2011 in Jenison, seeing lots of great friends. The Steens stopped by in the morning, and the Kladders stopped by in the afternoon. We went to visit Great Grandpa and Grandma Van Dyke that evening, and Kyler and Great Grandpa napped with Great Grandpa's John Deere blanket (I wish we had brought the camera). After that outing, we went to see our friends the Moes and their new house. When we finally got back home, Ryan had actually been battling a cold so he went to bed around 10pm, and it was just Kyler, Melissa, and Grandpa and Grandma Wiersum left awake to ring in the New Year. Kyler usually goes to bed earlier than midnight, but he seemed to want to stay awake for the special occasion. After Mom had to go in and out of the nursery all evening, Kyler and Mom rang in the New Year rocking a tired boy to sleep. It was actually a really great way to ring in 2012!
New Year's Day brought the extended Wiersum family over for Christmas, and Kyler got to meet the Wolters, Bolmans, and Sobels. He was all dressed up in his little sweater vest and khaki outfit he had gotten from his Aunt Lynsey. After a nice relaxing Monday watching football, we headed back the "Bourb" and took down all of the Christmas decorations before Ryan had to get ready for another semester at ONU.
Our visit with the Steens. Ben and Kyler will, I am afraid, be forced into lives of gaming due to their father's game obsessions. Yes, guys, they are still too young to play Race for the Galaxy!
