Is this a slap in the face?
I got a keyboard for my graduation present from my aunt and uncle. They knew I would love this gift and I do. I am still not very good and I have taken time away from the keyboard.. I am now starting up again. (I know it takes practice)
However, I also eventually want to learn guitar or bass. If I ask for say a guitar for Christmas or my birthday would this be a slap in the face to my aunt and uncle?

I think if you take the time to explain to them that you are not giving up on the keyboard but are wanting to learn another instrument because you enjoy music and want to expand your talent, they will understand. Most adults are nice that way :)

Plenty of instrumental musicians learn more than one instrument. The two at the top of my list (I can't play anything, never had the chance to learn) are piano and guitar. I don't think they would take offense, but you don't have to stick to just one instrument because someone bought you a present.

No, I don't think so, but you should take in consideration how expensive intruments can be. If your aunt and uncle are willing to buy you another instrument, then good for you :) but if they can't, you just have to understand them.
Try making it easier for them to purchase you an instrument. Research the intrument that your interested in and search for reasonable prices and good tone quality. Check out music stores online and tell your aunt and uncle where they can find the instrument your looking for, without having to spend a fortune.
I Hope my advice helps you :)

Not if you're making progress, that you've shared with them, on the keyboard.
If you have a good guitar store in your neck of the country, you might ask for a second hand guitar. You can get a better quality for less money.

if you plan on continuing with piano then no. plus many people play multiple instruments.
on a side note...i think guitar/bass is harder to learn than piano. maybe thats just me but either way.. stick to it and you'll be able to learn just fine!
