Christmas Eve

The Dawdys definitely started off the Christmas weekend right as our Christmas Eve was so much fun! Daddy, Mommy, and Kueffer attended Christmas Eve

services at our church. It was a packed house.

Kueffer was obviously very tired and the beautiful music soothed him right to sleep.

He took a little 'power nap' (he even says that!)

and was full of energy and excitement and ready for Grandma Karen's house!

Grandma prepared a beautiful and YUMMY dinner for us.

After dinner it was PRESENT TIME! Grandma must have thought that Kueffer was a very good boy this year as she gave him THIS!

Do you think he likes it? And it's SPIDERMAN!

The adults must have been pretty good this year too.

Thanks, Grandma Karen, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Tom, Uncle Brad and Sam for a wonderful night!

Reindeer Food

On Christmas Eve, Kueffer sprinkled 'reindeer food' out on the lawn so that Rudolph and his gang would be able to spot our house.

He wanted to make sure that the reindeer got lots of yummy food while Santa was unloading all of his gifts that night.

Happy Holidays!

Gingerbread House

Before Christmas, Kueffer and Mommy decorated this yummy looking gingerbread house. K did most of the decorating and, um, tasting while Mommy just tried to keep it from falling over.
We were pretty proud of our 1st architecture acheivement...

and Kueffer was excited to lick the yummy icing after. ;)

Santa Train

Couple of Saturdays ago, Daddy, Kueffer and Mommy took a ride on the SANTA TRAIN!

It was really cute. We all traveled down the tracks on an old train decorated for Christmas.

And SANTA rode with us!

We were served hot chocolate and cookies and sang carols.

yummy!
Kueffer loved singing his favorite songs and even had the winning answers to a trivia question by naming one of Santa's reindeer...

He actually knew which one was not said and got it right! (He's his Daddy's son alright!)

He really hammed it up by wearing his flashing red nose...Santa loved that!

After the train made it back to the depot, Santa talked to all of the children and gave everyone a special treat.

We had a great time and it was a fun way to kick off the Christmas season!

Breakfast with Santa

This year we attended our annual Breakfast with Santa...yes, after Kueffer's 2nd year attending, Mommy learned her lesson and only subjected him to one event each year.

As you can see, Kueffer LOVES Santa! This year he really GOT IT! Kueffer knows that Santa=presents, so he was all smiles for the big fella.

He was also 'all business' and made sure Santa knew exactly how good he had been and what was on his list! (yes, looks like Santa may have fallen asleep as K went on and on with his list)

Preschool Sing A Long

Yesterday, Kueffer's preschool hosted everyone for a holiday sing a long. It was so cute watching all of the kiddos as they were singing and dancing ...and showing off a bit...for their parents and grandparents. Kueffer was so excited to have Daddy, Mommy and Grandma Karen there for him!

Earlier that day, Mommy was the guest in Kueffer's classroom. It was so much fun watching all of the children interact. Mommy got to play, eat snack, learn the 'ABC prayer'

and even joined in a dance party!

Check out K busting a move in the back corner...nice!

Mommy thinks that Kueffer was pretty proud to have his mommy there too!

Our little comedian

Kueffer LOVES riddles! And, as you can see, he thinks he's a real hoot!
He gets so excited telling the joke, that his delivery could use a little help- perhaps a bit of restraint? How much fun would that be, seriously?! ;)

Here's the joke:
How do ducks learn to fly?
They just WING it! (yuck, yuck, yuck)

Don't worry...he litterally has a million of them. ;)

Hope you're having a HILARIOUS day!

Well, this is one way to make a basket!

He's BACK!

Last year, 'Elfie' came to visit Kueffer and make sure that he was being a good little boy for Santa.

Mommy and Daddy were tempted to ask Elfie to stick around all year as Kueffer was on his best behavior while he was here!

This year, Elfie sent another co worker elf, Butterball!

(Yes, Kueffer's name this year is a bit more original, but not that flattering. Luckily, Butterball has a healthy self esteem and isn't offended. ;)

Actually, his name started as Butter Biscuit and evolved to Butterball.)

Each day, Butterball observes Kueffer's behavior and reports back to Santa at night. He's a pretty mischievious elf and had gotten into K's yummy marshmallows one night. The next day he brought a treat to reward for the great day before. Word on the street is that he's bringing a report card from Santa this week to let Kueffer know how he's doing so far...and maybe some tips on areas that he needs to work on. ;)

Daddy and Mommy LOVE having Butterball around...and so does Kueffer!

Turkey Day Fun

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with family!

Lots of great food, good conversation, and FUN! Kueffer and Daddy even played a little football.

K may have been the smallest- but he was FIERCE! Uncle Brad couldn't escape getting tackled- again and again and again! :) Daddy was a great coach for the boys. Huddling in to come up with their winning strategy! ;)

Back inside, for a little relaxing while watching Christmas shows on tv

We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! We definitely have SO MUCH to be thankful for...especially all of our family and friends!
