all things december...

december was a busy month... chris is busy and enjoying figuring out how to be a good business owner.  he's really enjoying it and working hard to do all he can to set things up just like he wants.  i have been busy being a mom to these 2 little guys... not crazy busy... good busy.  daniel really likes school and especially loves the bus.  i had parent teacher conference this month and he's doing well and is a good kid in class which is good to hear.  david is working hard at pushing out his first teeth.  he is a master at drooling and spitting and chewing his hands and my hands and anyone else who gets close enough.  here are a few things we did this month:

we went to our ward christmas party and i awesomely convinced chris to wear his ugly sweater with me... and put david in his elf pjs... it was a fun night with good food and little program... santa ended up being a bust as we (and most other kids under the age of 4) ended up being in the back of the line and it was taking too long so after 40 min daniel asked to leave... he didn't want to wait anymore... which was fine with me.  i felt bad since he was so excited to see him, but oh well :)

we went out to the motor speedway light show... you drive through in your car.  it was pretty fun.  this was my favorite driving through this tunnel...

we started off the month opening a present every night that was left under daniels tree in his room... they were all christmas books to read throughout the month... he really liked opening a present every night.. and still asks every once and a while for one before bed... haha 

daniel is still in love with all things legos... his creativity is amazing to me... the things he creates.  here is a train that can drive both directions and a school to go with his school bus.  

he also has this fascination with wearing my shoes lately... especially these boots... haha he also randomly came downstairs with my hair brush and started brushing my hair.  i was impressed with how gentle he was ... and how seriously random it was... the most girly thing he has ever done. haha

i love our time in the mornings while we wait for the bus... he usually wants to wait across the street in front of the neighbors where the bus stops... and he plays chase and tag with the neighbor boys.  its so cute to see this tiny boy climb on the bus.

daniel is generally always unclothed... he comes home from school and instantly undresses to his underwear.  so it shouldn't have been a total surprise to me when one afternoon while over at my mom's house i look out to see daniel and his favorite cousin axel completely naked jumping on the trampoline.  axel only gets naked when daniel is around so i have to take blame for this.... but the completely naked part was axels accidental fault... while he was undressing his diaper came off with his pants so then daniel had to join and take off his underwear as well...   these are the only shots i could post... hahaha love tiny boy bum...

we had amanda over one night to hang out and she brought this gingerbread house with her.  she and daniel had a good time decorating it... and daniel really enjoyed eating all the Chiclets off one side the next day... didn't want him to have a massive belly full of gum so i had to throw out the house... but glad they had fun decorating it. 

daniel reached a big milestone at church this month... he had his last sunday in nursery... the sunday school class for ages 18months to 3 years.... they change classes at the new year and daniel will be moving up into junior primary into the sunbeam class for those kids turning 4 in 2016.  he's so huge he really looks like he belongs in primary already... but yay!!! my boy is growing up!! 

david was teasing me one day and decided to hold his own bottle.. i was so excited and now he refuses to hold it... 

david and carmen had a fun little play date while my mom was babysitting her... we stopped by to say hi and they enjoyed watching each other jump.... 

this daddy is loving playing with his boys....

daniel is also getting better all the time at playing with his little brother...and david of course loves it! big smiles every time

he is also trying to hard to crawl... he spends half his time on the floor rocking like crazy and planking...

emily and greg blessed baby andrew this month so we all went to he ward... and grandma had a good time sitting with all her cute boys... 

i had a random accident while sweeping my house...  i was wearing socks and somehow my foot slipped off the step and landed face down and i hit the top of my foot really hard before the rest of me hit the floor... it hurt so bad.  daniel was hilarious...with a look of concern "mom! you fell! you ok?"  and then he went back to watching his show... the next week chris pulled out the broom to sweep and daniel told him "careful dad... dont fall".  its not broken but man... it was tough to wear any shoes and its still really tender 3 weeks later.
