Hudson's First Christmas








On Christmas Day we went to Danielle's. Hudson and Brody had fun playing on the floor together. Hudson got his shirt from Grandma Joan- it has a picture of himself on it! He's not vain or anything...

New photos from the weekend





On Saturday we went to an "Ugly Christmas Sweater" party, so here's a pic of Hudson in his sweater! I know some of you may think it's actually cute... it's just not our usual style. :) He did look adorable in it, though!

Hudson's New Trick

Last night Hudson rolled over from his back to his tummy! He's been able to do the tummy-to-back roll for a couple months, but not the other way... until now! I was so excited, I made him do it over and over and over!

Here's the link to the YouTube video:

Merry Christmas

Here is Hudson all dressed up for church, wearing the outfit from Auntie Erin!

Visit with Santa


Brandon and I have had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year, so the last couple weekends, we've made an effort to get jolly! Last week we put on Christmas music and decorated our tree, and this weekend we decided to pay Santa Claus a visit. Hudson did pretty well, but when we first handed him over to Santa, he started crying! He kept sticking out his lower lip... it was so cute! We did everything we could to get him to smile, but he was not having it. So Hudson gave us his best "Blue Steel" face, and it still turned out pretty cute. :)

To Grandmother's House We Go...












Last week we took Hudson to visit Grandma Bev and Grandpa Eric in Ames, Iowa. We flew out the day after Thanksgiving and stayed for 5 days. We celebrated Thanksgiving on Saturday and even got snow! We had such a great time, and Hudson really enjoyed playing with his Grandma and Grandpa. He especially liked when Grandpa Eric rescued him from taking his nap one day! :) We all enjoyed great food, wine and company... (minus the wine part for Hudson)!
