This year we traveled to Plainview for Christmas! Since we spent Christmas in Texas, we celebrated Christmas early with Tim's family. We had Christmas with King and Ellen on the 18th, Hudsen had a doctor appointment on the 19th and then me and the boys flew to Plainview on the 20th. It was a busy few days!!! We had a wonderful Christmas with Grandma and Bompa, wonderful food and lots of fun presents for all of us!!! The next day Hudsen went to the doctor! He is 37lbs and 41 inches and perfectly healthy! Hudsen doesn't have to have any shots until he is 4 so we have another year of no shots!!! He goes back in June! The next day me and the boys got on a plane and flew to Lubbock! Both boys did so well on the plane! My dad picked us up and so started the get togethers!!! It was wonderful and probably the best Christmas for me. That night we all met at Amy's (my older sister) house and had yummy food and even better company! The next night everyone came out to mom and dad's and we ate some more and let the kids play! Hudsen loved playing with Ashton and Stella and Nolen loved Stella! It was so much fun for me to see the cousins playing because I remember so many holidays of playing with my cousins!! The next night (22nd) we had Christmas at my Grandad's That was even more fun to see everyone and watch the kids play and again some really yummy food!! My cousin Tyler cooked steaks for about 31 people and they were delicious!! Then we had baked potatoes, salad and homemade rolls and all the desserts you could imagine!! Tim got in on the 23rd and that night we just hung out at mom and dad's. Everyone came over and we of course ate some more food!!! Christmas Eve we woke up to snow!!! It was beautiful and it snowed pretty much all day! Hudsen got sick the night before so we made him stay inside. Mom and Hudsen made cookies for Santa and we put them out that night along with some milk. Christmas Day we awoke to more snow and a visit from Santa. The boys played and then we let Hudsen go out and play in the snow. He and Tim made a snowman, snow angels and Hudsen threw plenty of snowballs at Tim! They had a blast! That night everyone came out for food and presents! Again, so much fun to watch the kids play! They loved each other and had so much fun! Hudsen did get his pirate sword that he asked for and he had lots of fun playing with it! The next day was Tim's birthday! We went to eat mexican food with all my family, my aunt and uncle (on my mom's side), my cousin, her husband and little girl (Hudsen's age). She is pregnant with their second baby and she looks adorable! After dinner we went to Amy's house for cake and a little play time with our friends little girl, Reagan (Hudsen's age). It took them a few minutes to warm up to each other and Hudsen didn't want her to leave when it came time. Tim came home the next day and then my mom and dad drove me and the boys home on the 28th. We were jam packed and it was a long day in the car but we made it and I am so thankful and glad that they did that for us! They drove home on the 1st, so we were able to spend some time with them! It was a wonderful Christmas season and we look forward to 2012 and all it has to offer us!! Now we start planning our little boy Nolen's 1st birthday!
Happy New Year! Our new year started with just the four of us playing all day!
