Merry Christmas!

I wasn't sure how Hudson would do this year with Santa. I have had many people tell me that this age they just aren't sure how to react. On our way to the mall and walking up to see Santa I kept telling Hudson, "we are going to tell Santa hi, you are going to sit in his lap and say cheese". We were 3rd in line and Hudson saw Santa. I was so relieved when he looked at Santa, waved and said "Hi Santa!" (He's pointing at an Ernie that the photographer was holding.) He was so precious!

Kicking!

For those of you who don't know, my sister-in-law, Melissa, is expecting twins. Chance & Brynlee are expected to make their debut sometime in March! Last night Bryan and I were watching tv and Mel came into the living room (we are living with Melissa & Sean until our house is finished) and said she could see Brynlee moving. I put my hands on her tummy and the babies were kicking away! It's been such a neat experience to be there with Melissa during this exciting time in our family. I've been lucky to live with both of my sister-in-laws while they were pregnant! Please keep Melissa in your prayers that she will continue to have a healthy pregnancy.

Elmo Party!

This weekend was Hudson's birthday party - which of course was Elmo! We had a blast! Enjoy the pictures of the big 2 year old!

Happy Birthday Hudson!

It's hard to believe that our sweet boy turned 2 last Friday! He has become very independent and a little hard headed! (I'm not sure who he gets that from!) He amazes us everyday how smart and loveable he is!

Here are a few things that Hudson does: he counts to 10, sings his abc's very loud, sings Jesus Loves Me, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, categorizes our family (Mimi, Pop, Uncle Jason, Aunt Alicia, Kaleb; Nana, Moose; Aunt Mel, Uncle Sean, Chloe; Nana, Pawpaw) and he definitely knows when he's ready to go home from shopping! He says "Mama, I home."

Hudson loves Elmo and cookies!

Waiting patiently for Mama to get his cookie and ice cream!

Happy Birthday Hudson! We love you - Mommy & Daddy!
