Swanson & Johnson Christmases


This year we had our Swanson family Christmas at Nate & Jenny's house in KC.  The weather was beautiful and we had a great time!  Then we traveled back to Omaha for our Johnson christmas at my parent's.  The boys are certainly spoiled and got a lot of great toys.  Jim and I also made out pretty good. :)

Luke fell asleep while watching Lion King. 

Brady and Luke playing with the presents



Brady dressed up for church.  He enjoyed "singing" along at church :)

Luke wanted his picture taken too.  Such a handsome boy!

Luke and Brady's daycare has been closed all week so Jim has been home all week and I took a couple days of as well.  We visited the zoo one day because it was in the 50s!

Christmas Festivities

Wow, December has flown by!  The month was busy and filled with Christmas festivities.  Here are some pictures from the month.

Santa visited my mom's work, so we took Brady and Luke to see him.  Luke was scared of Santa but Brady didn't seem to mind him.  


Brady's first Christmas!
