The Kiefers Visit Santa
We took Austin to visit Santa a few days after Thanksgiving. The Tuesday after Thanksgiving turns out to be the perfect time! We were the only ones there!
I was a little nervous about how Austin would do this year. Last year he was too young to even know what was going on. This year he's not a fan of any stranger, much less one in a bright red suit.
I held out hope when I saw how happy was before we went in!
Like I said, we were the only ones there, so we had minimal warm-up time. He screamed, like getting-a-shot screamed, the second we sat him down. They were able to work with him a little bit since there wasn't a line. We played catch. Santa tried to read to him. They danced. We sang everything from Rudolph to Bob The Builder....
Eventually we all got in the shot and 2009 because "the year we took a family Santa photo!"

17 Months Old!
Austin, at 17 months...
You have more teeth. We're not sure how many because you never let us get a good look!
You say Two after we say One.
You love blowing kisses. There's also a good chance you say something like "love you" when you leave each morning.
You say door (over and over again) when you want to go outside.
You share your mother's love of chocolate.
You're long enough to kick the back of the passenger seat in the car.
You look a lot like your Pa, but every once in awhile you shoot your Mama a look and you're "all Daddy."
You've added "Neigh Neigh," "cock-a-doodle-do" and "sisss" to your list of animal sounds
You lick your lips when we ask you if you like Strawberries.
You're walking!!
Your Mama is having a harder and harder time keeping up with your lists each month!
You're still the best Christmas gift ever!!
Love you, baby boy!

Christmastime Around The House
Decorating the house for Christmas is a little different now that we have a 17-month-old running around. I had to get a little creative with what I put out, and where I put it. Nothing breakable can be within reach of a 30+ inch toddler! We hope you enjoy your tour...
