Swanson Christmas

Last Saturday late morning we headed to the I-Valley. We spent the afternoon over at the Zuk's. We ate some yummy La Grotto's pizza and visited with everyone (minus Will - we missed ya!). Then it was off to my parents for a nap for the little guy before heading to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner with my parents and Aunt Kathy. It opened in Peru a couple of months ago and has been crazy busy since so my parents hadn't made it there yet. We had a bit of a wait, but once they sat us, it was a perfect location - right next to the arcade games to help keep Luke occupied!!! We all had some boneless wings (a little spicy for some :) ) and Lukey had some chicken tenders. As the adults were finishing their tall drinks, Luke was getting a bit antsy. Papa tried to win him a stuffed animal but had no luck. Don't worry Dad - those games are just money suckers as I am sure you told me many times when I was little :) We headed home to play and get ready for bed - it was a good day/night!

Sunday was Swanson Christmas - the reason we headed to LP! Grandpa is home and it was time to get everyone together for a little Christmas celebration. First though we headed to church. Church is getting quite difficult for the little guy...no busy-body boy like him wants to sit still for that long (who can blame him!). He made it to the beginning of the homily I think and then Daddy and him headed for the back of the church! Luke took a short nap at my parents and then it was off to Great-Grandma's house we went. We put Luke in his Christmas (Eve) outfit...might as well get one more use out of it before he gets too big for it! Logan (3 y.o.) must have had the same idea because him and Luke were looking like little twinkies!

We ate some good food (ham, potatoes, corn, green beans, salad, etc.) and the little ones opened lots of presents...Lukey had a hard time keeping his hands off of Logan's presents, Logan had a hard time dealing with that - it was actually quite entertaining and crazy!

It was a good day and always nice to get everyone together and see Grandpa at home! Next Christmas will be even more fun as Logan will be a big brother in a couple of months when his TWIN brothers arrive :) 4 little boys together at Christmas - this could get crazy!
