December at the Swenks

One word..."LOVE"


Our tree.

We had a barrier around our tree for most of the month, so when it wasn't there Jacob took full advantage!  He made Christmas time a blast this year.  Every time he sees Santa Clause, in any form, he says, "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

I found this note in one of Jacob's toy boxes.  So sweet!

I think these two pictures are so hilarious!  They don't do justice to how adorable these two kids are but I LOVE the look on their faces.  This is Jacob with his friend, Elissa!

Jacob has to feed himself these days.  He's so funny about this too, there's not going to be much eating unless he's in charge of the spoon!  Here he is eating his morning oatmeal and making his usual mess!  But look how happy he is!  And he even manages to get more food in him than on him.


Grrr...yes, the entire box of kix. He just looked up at me w/ a proud smile on his face like he was saying, "look mom, now I can eat as much as I want!"

SUPER BABY!!

I took super lousy Christmas day pictures this year, so this is what we're stuck with...


Our family tradition is to go snowboarding/skiing the day after Christmas, which was my Grandma Ferre's birthday.  We had everyone except Ryan and his wife this year.  It was a blast to be together doing something we all enjoy!

Clint w/ his kiddos, Ian and Paige

Me and my baby!

Clint w/ his super cute girlfriend Erin.

Megan and her son Barry Michael.

Cousins Kaitlin and Kelli.  I think it's spelt w/ an I. Hmm...

Me and my lovely mom!

Check out this beauty!  This is my bestest friend Jill's daughter Leah.  I'm totally in LOVE with her.  She was so sweet and calm and just let Jacob hang all over her!

Seriously, could he be any more in love?  He hugged, kissed, held and pretty much became obsessed w/ this doll!

Yeah, can we say a couple of beauty queens?

My mom gave me this mold pan for Christmas, so I had to bake her some football bread.

I love how both boys have their own laptop here.  Jacob really wanted the real thing, no fooling my boy!

I totally love these pictures of Jacob helping Tom put together one of his Christmas toys. 
My life revolves around these two guys and I couldn't be more happy about that!  I love being a wife and a mother.  I feel so incredibly blessed to watch this precious little boy learn and grow.
