Merry Christmas 2013!

This would have been perfect if it were in focus, but this year we just weren't able to get a good holiday photo of the Swoyer family. But we sure had a good holiday season -- plenty of family time, lots of laughs and excitement and presents, and many colds.

Winter Wonderland 2013

This year, all four boys went with Grandpa and MiMi to Winter Wonderland at Navy Pier.  Ollie, Elliot and blurry Ben loved the spinning Tea Cups (especially with Grandpa doing the spinning).  Henry rode the Tilt-a-Whirl twice, once with grandpa and once with MiMi.  All the boys made their own special Xmas cookie.  Fun time!

Happy Birthday Oliver August! You're 3 today!

Something wonderful happened on this day three years ago!  Your brother Henry and Mommy and Daddy were there then, too!  Happy Birthday Ollie!  We love you!

Dreaming of Santa Claus?

One Christmas Eve, my parents told me the sooner I fell asleep the sooner Christmas would come.  Henry seems to like this idea.
