The Stangler Family: Part Two: STL

Here are a bunch of random pictures from the STL portion of our Christmas adventures. I had to start with this one because it is SO cute! We spent a couple of days in St. Louis visiting family and friends before the official festivities began. We got to go to lunch with Dane's grandparents and his cousin. We also stopped by my Uncle Larry and Aunt Mickey's house to see the extensive model train set-up that my uncle has. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures from their house, which is too bad, because they had a great time. I also got to see my friend Katie and her husband and step-daughter. It was a lot of shuttling the kids around, but they were troopers.

The day after we got into town, Tom and his fiance, Jen, got to my parents house and then Terry and Andrea. The boys were excited to see their aunts and uncles. It is rare that the Weber siblings are all under one roof, so it was a ton of fun. My mom bought a new version of Cranium and it was hilarious. All I can say is that my little brother portrays Brooke Shields like nobody's business!

We celebrated our family Christmas on Christmas Eve with way too many presents and a delicious famous breakfast compliments of Chef dad. Then we headed to my Uncle John and Aunt Mary Alice's for the big Ryan gathering. The kids all had fun together and it was so nice to actually get to go to a family function! Plus, the rates we got at Hotel Weber were reasonable given the sweet accommodations.
