With cousin Landon on Thanksgiving

Found his sucker from the bank teller in the van door...

Mommy was saving it for another day,

but Daniel snuck out into the garage,

climbed into the van,

got in the front seat, and

noticed a sucker!

This is what I found when we went looking for him.

Admiring Mimi's Christmas tree

Going to look at lights with the Clarks.

Daddy put up our icicle lights on the house.

Daniel LOVES them!

Daddy let Daniel drive through a lights display

on Highway 109.

Playing with the trains!

Thomas was broke that day...  Boo.

Seeing our Christmas tree for the first time...

following a nap.

Playing or breaking the ornaments.

Watching the snow outside his window

Excited about his toddler bed!

After an hour or more of fighting it,

his first night in the toddler bed was a success!

Playing ON baby brother...

Being funny and laughing at himself in the van

Dressed up for church in his Christmas outfit

and NEW SHOES!

Trying to get a decent picture of the Johnson boys...

Wow.

Had to bribe Daniel with a cookie, of course.
