Dallas and Dydalewicz's

Precious Knox is such a good baby!

Lawson happy to see his buddy!

It's tradition for Mommy to buy us matching hats when Kaden and I get together.  This visit she surprised us with Dallas Maverick's hats!

Mommy and Aunt Kimmy are always smiling or laughing when they are together.  They are so silly!

Aunt Kimmy left us notes each morning.

Cookie time!


The Polar Express

The Mason, Ohio Polar Express!

Mama's boys

Santa and Mrs. Claus were pretty creepy.  (Mommy and Daddy even agreed!) I told Mommy that it wasn't the real Santa and Mrs. Claus looked too young! 

The train ride was the best part!

Brown eyes!

The jolly elf taught me some cool magic tricks!

GOT Christmas Party








Mommy (a.k.a. "Homeroom Mom") planned our Christmas party!  I think she was pretty ambitious with the craft.  We created reindeer art with our footprints!  Mrs. Acuna even helped wash our feet!  Mommy incorporated a Bible story and read from the Book of John.  She told us the story of how Jesus washed his followers feet!  We learned that God loves us all the same!  Brody made a point to say that just because he was the best football player didn't mean that God loved him more than anyone else.  His Mommy got a chuckle from that!  We feasted on peppermint ice cream and ended the party decorating Mrs. Acuna.  She volunteered as our Christmas tree!

We went over to Aunt RJ and Uncle David's friends, The Mays' house, for a little fun!  They are big UK basketball fans and invited us over to watch the Cat's preseason game.  They also have one of the most amazing basements we have ever seen!  Everyone had a fun time and the Wildcat's one!

Crazy boy!

Dylan played some Ragtime for our entertainment!

Lawson played his own style!

We flew to Cincinnati for Thanksgiving this year!  We spent Thanksgiving with Aunt RJ's mom and sister's families.  It was a lovely day and Aunt RJ was the hostess with the mostess!  She is TRULY AMAZING and you would not have even known that she had a "chemo cocktail" the week before.   We made the most of the long weekend!  We cooked, watched Sted and Dylan play Varsity ball together, wrestled, played video games, learned some notes on the piano, Mommy and Aunt RJ kept up with tradition and found time to watch "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "A Christmas Story", watched a UK basketball game at an amazing house (Mommy was in awe of the three kitchens...one of which had a Hibachi grill!), Mommy and Daddy tried Ice Wine for the first time, had a dinner out with Sted and his "friend that is a girl" :) and just enjoyed being together!!!!!!
