Hudsen is 4!!

A little over a week ago, Hudsen turned 4!  We had such a fun party at our house and want to say Thank you to all that came and made Hudsen's day so special!  We started the day by going to Dunkin' Donuts and then to the Dollar Store to get a couple of balloons!  We came home and got the balloons set up and then the boys had lunch and nap time.  Nolen napped but Hudsen was too excited so he got to watch me put icing on his cake!  It was a super fun Spiderman party!
 
 


Donuts with my boys!

This is where Tibby was the morning of Hudsen's birthday!

We have an Elf and we visit Santa!

Yes, we have an Elf!!  His name is Tibby...........named by Hudsen who didn't know that that's what his daddy was nicknamed as a child!  We have had fun looking for him every morning and can't wait to see what other things he has planned for us!  Here are a few of my favorites!
 
 
Elves love syrup!!

Chocolate and candy cane party with some of the other toys.  Making friends!

Snow angel

Playing pirates!

Again making friends but roasting marshmallows this time!

Visiting our Nativity!

And Hudsen's stocking!

This morning we found that he had made us snowflakes to decorate with but made quite a mess.  He did apologize for the mess so that made it ok!
 
 
We visited Santa last night and what a fun and beautiful night it was!  Hudsen has been looking forward to visiting Santa and making sure he knew he wanted a green star wars light saber!  Nolen loved Santa too!  He started out sitting next to Hudsen but ended up on Santa's lap!  We always go to Town Square to visit Santa because it is so pretty there.  Santa's house is a Norman Rockwell house and is just so cute!  They also have a very BIG tree right behind the house that is just so pretty and then every night at 7pm they have snow in the square and the boys loved it!  Grandma and Bompa, Elizabeth and Gerard got to go with us and that made it so much fun!  Tim ended up having to work so we will have to go visit Santa at the mall sometime so he can see the boys with Santa.  I love his job but hate that it causes us to not be able to plan anything.  You never know if a case is going to start on time or how long it is going to take.  He loved looking at all of our pictures though!
 
Telling Santa what he wants for Christmas!

So cute, giving Santa a hug!

LOVE this one!!!

And look who we ran into!!!!  Some Storm Troopers and they let Hudsen hold one of their guns!!  (Don't worry, it is not real :)!!!)

This was as close as Nolen was going to get but he thought they were pretty cool too!


Hot chocolate with my big boy!  He so looked forward to getting hot chocolate!

I LOVE these two boys!  And missed my big man!

Grandma and Bompa with their boys!

Pretty much who Nolen stayed with all night!  He loves Bompa!


Hanging out, waiting for the snow!

And here it is!!

Nolen loved it!!!


And so did Hudsen!!!

 
 
It was such a fun night.  Thank you to Grandma, Bompa, Beth and G for coming to hang out with us!  Sorry you missed it Tim but we will make a trip to the Mall Santa for you!!!!

Happy Halloween!! 
The boys had so much fun trick-or-treating!!  This was Nolen's first time and he was a pro!!  After a couple of houses he figured it all out and it became a race for the boys to see who could get to the door first!!  They were both very polite in saying "Thank you!" and then Hudsen would make sure to say "Happy Halloween!"  We had a blast and still have so much candy!!  I don't think we will finish before next year!

My cute Spiderman and Giraffe!

Me and my sweet boys!!
 
Thanksgiving Day!
The weather was beautiful and we actually got a little hot while playing outside waiting to eat!  The boys had a fun day!  Nolen cleaned his plate and Hudsen ate all of his turkey sandwich and helping of sweet potatoes and cranberry salad!  I just love Thanksgiving and all the food and family time!!





 
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We have so much to be thankful for!  Ellen and I did some shopping on Thursday night and had so much fun, except for the hour wait to check out at Target!  Thanks for going with me Ellen.  I had fun!  We are now looking forward to Christmas and all the fun things we do in December.  I have been planning for Hudsen's 4th birthday....it's a spiderman party!!  We also go see Santa and then Brian, Erin and Weston are coming for Christmas this year and we are so excited to share in Weston's First Christmas!!!  My dad and Ashton are coming after Christmas and we always look forward to special visits!!!
 
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!  My Christmas shopping is done, Christmas cards are done and ready to be mailed and Christmas decorations have been up for about a week!!!!  I LOVE this time of year!!!
