Stapler Christmas Bonanza week!

Every year around Christmas we have our Stapler family fest week and this year was no exception! We do a lot of stuff in a few days with all the families... at the end of which we're all pretty tired, but it's fun and the cousins have a lot of fun hanging out with each other.

Christmas day we spent the morning at our house, and then went over to Grandma & Grandpa Stapler's for lunch. Later in the afternoon, we stopped by Uncle Donny & Aunt Patsy's for some more family fellowship and a light dinner.

Saturday we had the annual Ney family gathering in Bainbridge. The entire extended Ney family has a lunch every year which is organized by Uncle Don & Aunt Katherine. Saturday night, all of us parents had a chance to get out for a quiet dinner while Shannon & Amy watched the kids (Thank you!!).

Here's Owen with Aunt Danielle checking out his camping gear that Grandma & Grandpa gave him.

And the gang having some pizza before we left for dinner.


Sunday afternoon we went over to Hershey Park and spent the afternoon riding rides. It was unseasonably warm, which was nice for everyone and sure beat tromping around in the bitter cold...

Shaun and Luke loved their cheesy popcorn!

On Monday everyone came over to our house for dinner and our family gift exchange. Here's Owen opening his boat from Aunt Danielle & Uncle Steve.
