The Tomlinson Family

Indeed, nothing is more critically connected to happiness—both our own and that of our children—than how well we love and support one another within the family... M. Russell Ballard

Santa Fright!


Our ward Christmas party had a special little visitor. Good 'ole St. Nick decided to grace us with his presence and bring the good little girls and boys a bag of candy. Well, as good parents, we were anxious for Daniel to be recognized for his good behavior by Santa. We waited our turn (with Daniel checking every single move that Santa made) and got our camera ready. We finally got to the front of the line and we plopped Danny boy on Santa's lap. It took Daniel less than a second to realize that Santa was a very scary furball and he wanted nothing to do with him. We grabbed a couple of quick pictures and you can see for yourselves that we might have created a Santa-phobia in our little boy.


Merry Christmas!

Bubba in a basket!



I can catch Daniel in the darnedest of positions... For some crazy reason, he thinks that he's really petite and can fit in anything. Such is not usually the case, but he got lucky this time. He loves his lego basket.

My little reader...





I have always told John that I hope that Daniel doesn't have his disinterest in books. So far, so good! Daniel loves reading time (although in the pictures it looks like he's bored stiff). He definitely has his favorites and likes them to be read over and over and over and over... :) I wouldn't have it any other way.

Some cousin shots...



We had Adam/Dana and family over for dinner a couple weeks back and here were some cute shots. I love the one with Emma and Daniel swinging in the chair. And of course the one of Daniel trying to give Emma a kiss... What fun!



Happy Turkey Day!



I'm a wee bit behind on updating my little bloggie, but I have had good reason. We've had family in town (thanks, Bri Bri for coming to visit!), a trip to Soda for Turkey day x 2, work, work, work, and Daniel, Daniel, Daniel. Overall, the past couple of weeks have been fabulous! Who doesn't love overeating??








Here are a couple of pictures from our Turkey bowl (Brian demanded that we have one or else he wouldn't come visit and John was happy to oblige). Daniel loved the idea, of course, because it involved balls! It was a little confusing for him, however, since he's usually obsessed with basketball. He kept wanting to throw the football in the basket at the park. Hey, whatever works, right? :)
