Stapleton Family

Christmas Eve


We had the whole family, both sides, over for Christmas Eve again this year.  Part of my Christmas was that Dan did almost all of the cooking, including three batches of home made rolls.  This year was especially nice because Scott and his family were here before they move to Germany.
 Pre dinner festivities, including appetizers.  Janet's brothers Jimmy and Mark
 Kyle and Robby
 Allie with baby Liam
 The kids table is always more fun than the adult
 Ogilvie Clan
Stapleton clan
 The junior version of BINGO was actually a quick roll of the dice
BINGO is definitely intense.  Kudos to Allie's boyfriend for daring to meet all of us.

December

 We had a mini Christmas when my manager's son cleaned out his closet and we inherited these awesome remote control cars.  Seth was jumping up at down for about an hour, he was so excited.
 We ate dinner at Gateway, had a short TRAX ride and looked at the lights.
 This is a very typical picture, I just never post them- the boys not cooperating and Dan looking annoyed that I am making him have this photo op.
 The boys had their preschool Christmas Program today.  They did really well on their speaking parts as well as doing the actions for the songs.  Thanks to both Grandma's for coming to support them.  I recorded most of the program and we watched it with Dan tonight (he had his knee scoped and couldn't make it).  They were so proud to watch themselves and tell their daddy how well they'd done.
The boys said they weren't supposed to wear jeans, so here are my handsome boys with untucked shirts.
