A warm, sunny Christmas.

Dallas Christmas:

 Saturday morning we woke up to presents under the tree and a fun playhouse set up with filled stockings inside... Aubrie and Luke were so excited... The opening began right away...

They were super excited about all of their dollar store toys and some other fun black friday deals that we found for them! They had so much fun playing all day while we packed for our flight to Vegas that night.

We had high hopes that this little man would sleep on the flight, hence the jammies, but he literally fell asleep 20 minutes before we landed. We definitely jinxed ourselves... no jammies for him next time!

Aubrie was a huge helper the entire flight.  She read, watched some movies on the laptop and slept. Thank goodness since her little bro didn't give us much of a break! :)
























Vegas trip/Christmas:
Grammie and Uncle Aaron came to pick us up at the airport when we got to Las Vegas. The kids were exhausted, but excited to see everyone.
I did a pretty horrible job documenting our trip... quite a few of these photos were taken on our phones... so they are all random...

 Playing at Nana and Papa's house w/ Cousin Braylee was lots of fun!

On the rooftop investigating the broken air conditioning unit.

Luke freaked out when Aaron was coming down off of the roof- he was scared for his daddy or something... here Aaron is consoling him and he is doing much much better.

 Can you guess what they are doing in these pictures?

Yep! Cicadas (spelling?!) GROSS.

Here is the one (and only) piece of documentation that I was around for the festivities.   :)
Papa took us on a super fun hayride around the neighborhood to see all the beautiful Christmas lights.  We all had a blast! It was such a fun night.

 This is what they do...

We spent Christmas Eve at Grammie's home playing Apples to Apples and chowing down on delicious pizza and treats.  We put out reindeer food on the lawn, cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeers and went to bed.

We woke up to find stocking filled and a mountain of presents under and all around the tree. Spoiled much?!! Christmas morning at Grammie's (I assure you there are more pictures, but nobody would appreciate me posting them... let's just say it was a little too early in the morning for primping!)

 Such a fun play-doh set!

 A lawnmower!

 A fur coat!

 Love these two! Playing heart and soul.

 Playing with the new toys!

Then off to Nana and Papa's house we went... and we were all spoiled again...

 Balls! Luke couldn't have been happier! :)

Princesses! Jackpot!
We had lots of fun opening gifts and then we headed off to church.  It was nice having church on Christmas to be reminded of why we celebrate. We came back to the Swapp's and played and played and had a delicious dinner! Christmas was so awesome this year.  We are always grateful to be able to have our families in one city (okay 2 cities that a very nearby), so that we can celebrate with both! It is such a huge blessing. It was a great Christmas. More photos of the trip to come in a future post.... hopefully not too far in the future...
