It's Officially Christmas at the Swansons! Ho, Ho, Ho


Today we declared the Christmas season at the Swanson house!  Yeah, is all I have to say... and HO, HO, HO.  We began the season with baking Christmas cookies this morning.  Gentry and Olyvia helped me roll the dough and use the cookie cutters! (They also helped consume half of the dough before it made it to the oven!)  


The highlight was decorating the tree with all the kiddos!  Well, it was seriously crazy trying to keep them entertained with out breaking ornaments.  Besides the craziness it was so fun, we played Christmas music and read all Christmas stories tonight!  So fun!  I was so excited to have our tree up I turned off all the lights but the Christmas tree lights and we read our bedtime stories and memory verses!  It was so fun and I am so excited for the Christmas season!  Oh ya Happy Thanksgiving!  Thanksgiving gets over shadowed in our house because we start semi-celebrating Christmas in July! :)
