ThE SwEnSoN 2oo9 ChRiStMaS......

The holiday started off with The Swenson Christmas party and Reed and Maryanns on tuesday the 22nd. Every year they do a casual dinner with pizza yummy salads and also yummy desserts:) We sit around eating and talking. The highlight is that Santa comes!!! It so fun to see the kids light up with they hear his bells coming in the front door.

Londyn loved santa:) So cute!!

Brindley did too!!

Thursday being Christmas Eve, we took the journey up to Mantua! I was lucky to spend the last 2 years with my family. Toms family usually does their party on christmas eve but they had to change it this year so I was happy to spend another great year with my family. This year was a little different, not having my grandpa there was hard but it still was a good time. I forgot my camera:( I tend to that ALOT sorry!
That night when we got home Brindley was stoked for Santa to come. So we hurried and put out Santa milk and cookies and off to bed the girls went. Tom and I had put everything together for christmas the night before so then we weren't up until 3 like last year with the kitchen set!! So we filled the stocking and got everything ready!! Christmas morning was SO fun! We did the tradional picture of the girls at the top of the stairs...

Then they started to unwrap!! I love Brindleys face when she sees what Santa brought!!!



I think Santa dumped his bag out at our house! (hehe)
Now after I got the girls all dolled up for the Busy Christmas day I asked Brindley where she wanted to take the picture at and she said Londyns crib. I thought it was cute so I said ok!!
Uncle steve said they look like their ready to go to Mexico, but i thought they looked stinkin cute!
Another fun tradition is to go to Aunt Marthas for the BEST Breakfast on earth. We have cinnamion rolls, cassroles, stuffed mushrooms, yummy jucies and more. Fun Fun times!!


Then we went to Reed and Maryanns to exchange gifts. This next year they are taking the family to Disneyland in April so they gave us and the girls our tickets! Thanks so much guys we are counting down the days.
THEN it was off to my dads for dinner and more family fun! Im telling you what its a darn good thing that im doing a Boot Camp in Januray for 4 weeks 5 days a week because i have gained about 6 pounds!!AWWWWWWWWWWW. Anyway, we had a great time this year!
