swift - Firebase converting snapshot value to objects

Question

So I have a postDict as [String: AnyObject] and I have a model class Post.

Is there a quick way to convert postDict to an array of Post objects so that when dequeuing the cell, it will be:

cell.textLabel.text = posts[indexPath.item].author

import UIKit
import Firebase

class ViewController: UIViewController {

var posts = [Post]()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference().child("posts").queryLimitedToFirst(5)

    ref.observeEventType(FIRDataEventType.ChildAdded, withBlock: { (snapshot) in
        let postDict = snapshot.value as! [String : AnyObject]

        print(postDict)          

        //convert postDict to array of Post objects
    })
  }
}

class Post: NSObject {
    var author: String = ""
    var body: String = ""
    var imageURL: String = ""
    var uid: String = ""
}

This is the output when printing out postDict:
