Here are a bunch of random photos from my phone:
I can't remember if I put this on the blog already or not (sorry of any of these are repeats!). Johnny is really in to dressing up right now. One night he insisted on eating his spaghetti dinner with goggles on his head!

Our ward Christmas party of Grinch theme. They did a whole reading and acting out of the story. It was pretty good!
Diadora fell asleep. :)

Addie loves to help me around the house (I should take advantage of it more!). She asked to help me with the laundry so I let her sort the diapers!
***
Again, sorry if these next few were already posted earlier. One of our Christmas activities was to decorate gingerbread cookies. I think it was more of a hit than the gingerbread house we usually do.
Daniel's cool cookie!

A few weeks ago I noticed Diadora had some bruise looking marks on his wrist. I had no idea what they were from and I was a little concerned. While I was watching her play I noticed she was sucking on her arm giving herself hickeys! I try to make sure her arms on covered until she stops doing that!

This is our only picture from our Anniversary! Daniel planned out our whole date. He surprised me with appointments for massages. Then we headed to dinner at a Sushi place (No, we don't like sushi. They have a vegetable roll that I get, Daniel got terikaki chicken and I LOVE their edemame). Happy 8th anniversary to us!

Since the weather is pretty chilly right now, I can't just scoop the kids up from their naps to go pick Addie up. I have to bundle everyone up or else we freeze! Poor Johnny D is never ready to get up, and I hate to wake him! One afternoon I got his slippers, jacket and hat on without him waking up! He is usually still half asleep by the time we get to the school.

Starting the first Sunday of 2013 Johnny D is no longer in Primary at church (for kids ages 18mo-3 years old.) He is officially a Sunbeam! (3-4 years old) And he loves it! I am impressed by how well he is learning the Primary songs and he loves to tell us all about what he learned that day!

Little miss is learning to sit up! So exciting!

One of my goals to go with my 'time' word is to do more crafts with the kids. Addie found this one in a magazine and has been asking me for months to make it. I finally made myself go out to the rec room one night (it's freezing in there!) and find all of the supplies to make it. Sunday night we sat down to make it. It's a little baby wrapped in a blanket. She was so excited about it.

This is probably bad but, I usually don't lock the door when we leave to take Addie to school. The other day we were on our way out the door. I closed the back door and got everyone in the stroller. Addie wanted to go back in for her gloves but when I tried to open the door it was locked! Of course I didn't have my keys! Our front door as a code lock on it so you don't have to carry a key. Unfortunately, since we hadn't gone anywhere that day, the bottom lock (that needs a key) was still locked! Are you kidding?! I took Addie to school then called Daniel. He couldn't come home for about and hour and half and it was freezing outside so I starting calling people I knew within walking distance. Johnny informed me at one point that he needed to go to the bathroom. We were outside so I figured he could just go in the grass or something. I think it was a little too cold for the little guy because he couldn't go! Finally I saw a bucket and had him sit on that and everything was good again! After about 30 minutes my friend called me back and said we could hang out over there until Daniel got home. Johnny was so happy! She made him hot chocolate as soon as we got there then he got to play with her son who had stayed home that day! Daniel got home just as it was time to pick Addie up from school. Now Johnny asks everyday after we drop Addie off if we can go to Sister Wilson's house!
