More Christmas Pics

Mark LOVED his shirt, can't you tell. I couldn't pass it up in the mall :)

Starting New Traditions

I guess this is what happens when you don't have a girl to dress up in bows. Sorry Grayson, just temporally.

This train table too Santa a couple of hours to put together! I almost started freaking out when Tyler was playing with it and messing it up!
Oh if Grayson could just speak!

This Christmas we decided, or I decided, to start new traditions for our little family. I remember growing up and doing the same things every Christmas and loving it. Little things like opening up a pair of matching pj's on Christmas Eve. Love it! So, this year we opened up pj's on Christmas Eve. Tyler is finally at the age of enjoying Christmas lights. That meant it was time to drive around in the car and look at the cool Christmas lights, and not so cool Christmas lights :)

We really enjoyed playing Santa this year and we can't wait til Grayson is believing as well. Tyler loved Santa Claus at the mall or anywhere we saw him. Favorite quote, "Santa can I kiss you!" You should have seen the look on that Santa's face!

Don't worry, we did a good job telling and explaining to Tyler why we have Christmas and the true purpose! Here are a few pics of the Swann Family Christmas!

Tyler's Christmas Party at MDO

At the party, we played a fun book exchange game. Brooklyn and Tyler both got each others book the other brought. I asked them to hold it up, that way I could take a picture of them with their book. They literally held the book UP and not infront of them. A for effort.

Why put the icing on the cake when you can scoop it up and eat it. That's my boy!

Tyler and his friend Owen. Cutie line leader.

This year I decided what the heck, I should be the Room Mom. Well, that just meant me having to organze the parties. I love being able to see Tyler in action and how he acts with his friends at school. This year has brought new friends and more playdates. I guess that is part of growing up. Can't believe next year we will be enrolling him in Pre-School!
