Christmas Eve

We woke up to the most beautiful huge snowflakes falling from the sky it was pretty magical. Our Christmas Eve was pure bliss we had no where to go and spent the day baking, playing in the snow, drinking hot chocolate, and watching Christmas movies.

We had a yummy dinner of steak, shrimp scampi, garlic mashed potatoes, ceaser salad, sparkling cider and chocolate pie for dessert.

 Madi did a beautiful family home evening lesson that helped us focus on the birth of our Savior, the kids gave each other their secret Santa gifts, Hannah and Mason set out cookies and milk for Santa, and Mike and I ended the night watching "It's a Wonderful Life."

Imagination

I love when toys are made out of anything. Where Christmas Pom-poms become action figures.

Mason Christmas program/gingerbread night

I got teary eyed watching my little guy up there singing, it was one of those times in your life where you just want to stop time and keep them little forever. This little boy totally has my heart!

Little Emery

Emery's blessing

Emery was blessed while we were visiting, we felt so blessed to be there for it! Love that little boy so much!

Thanksgiving

We went to Utah for Thanksgiving, it was great to celebrate with all our extended family again we haven't been back for Thanksgiving since we moved away

10 years ago. Everyone on the Swenson side was at my aunt Stacey's to celebrate! The food and company was great! We did a lot of snuggling with our favorite little guy, and managed to get a lot of shopping in and eating at some yummy places.
