Kieferism

Kiefer got out of the shower this morning and was doing his usual drip dry technique. I asked him if he wanted to put on clothes to which he replied he did not.

"But Kiefer", I reasoned, "You have a bare bum!"

"No, I don't have a bear bum, I have a DINOSAUR bum. Roarrrrr!" he exclaimed.

Here are a couple pictures from this week that I really like.

Kiefer & Ella Christmas Ornaments

Kiefer and Ella received a package in the mail today from Auntie Dianne. I let Kiefer open the package and recorded it for Dianne.

Big thanks to my Auntie Dianne too! I just love the ornaments!

Snow time!

Kiefer loves the snow! It was finally warm enough today to actually go outside and play in it! We walked around to look at our tracks, played with the shovels to clear the sidewalks, climbed a big snow pile that Don made for us and made lots of snow angels. We were both pretty cold by the end of our snow adventure, but he was having so much fun, only chocolate would lure him back into the house.

Gingerbread House

Kiefer, Nanan & I built a Gingerbread House yesterday. It was not as easy as it looks. It was an all hands on job to get the house upright, firstly. Secondly, it takes some skill to get icing and candy on it, especially because you are up to your elbows in sticky icing.

Kiefer said, "That is a GREAT Gingerbread House!"

I guess we met his expectations, so mission accomplished!

Today he asked to make another one. Ha ha!

Christmas is not a date. It is a state of mind. - Mary Ellen Chase

Here is Kiefer cutting cookies. He loved making the "play dough cookies". We sat on the counter together and ate them as the batches were coming out of the oven. We enjoyed eating trees, sleighs, stars and all sorts of Christmas shapes. It was a great Mom & Son moment. Kiefer is really getting into Christmas this year.

Kiefer skating again!

Kiefer is improving. Here he is from his 2nd skating outing!
