Santa Visit

We took Hudsen to see Santa on 12-17-09 at Town Square and as you can tell.......he was NOT impressed! We got a good picture of just him and Santa and he was screaming! It is cute though!

For those of you that don't live in Vegas and don't know about Town Square, it is a really neat outdoor mall. They really decorate at Christmas and it is so pretty.


This is Santa's house!


And this is the big tree in the center of Town Square! The lights constantly change colors and Tim got a good picture of the tree with all the colors.



The night we went it just happened to start snowing at 7:00 pm right in front of the tree. Of course it isn't real but it sure was fun pretending!

After the Santa experience, we had a really good night!

Christmas post to follow. There are a lot of pictures and I need to be able to focus. Maybe tonight when Hudsen goes to bed!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!!

Happy 1st Birthday to Hudsen!!!!

Hudsen turned one on Monday the 14th! We had a couple of parties for him and he had so much fun! Our first party was on Sunday. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Elizabeth, Uncle G, our friend Dana and our friend JR celebrated with us. Hudsen loved all of his gifts but was a little overwhelmed. He wasn't quite sure which toy to play with. The next morning he was still overwhelmed because he just kept walking around and around and around just looking at all his new toys but didn't know which one to play with first.

Hudsen loved his cake and was not too messy!

This is the cake I stressed about! Yes, I made it and it turned out pretty good....I think?!

Aunt Elizabeth came over on Saturday and gave Hudsen an early Christmas present. It was a Godson ornament!

We had another party on his birthday at Grandma and Grandpa's. He had more presents to open and he had so much fun. He loves all of his new toys and clothes!

He still loved his cake but was messy the 2nd time around!



He is exactly ONE YEAR OLD! This was taken at 7:03pm on the 14th....exactly the time of his birth!!!!

We go to Plainview for Christmas and will have another party with my family! What a lucky boy getting to have 3 parties. I can't say that I ever had 3 parties!!!

Hudsen went to the doctor today which is why I am just now posting. I wanted to give one big update instead of two. He is 31 inches and 23 lbs. 10 oz. He is perfectly healthy. He has been walking for about 3 weeks and is drinking milk. We still have no teeth but the Dr. told us not to worry. You can see little white spots, they just won't break through. Someday!

We are so excited to see our Plainview Family next week! We hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year! If you are traveling, please Be Safe!

So, bath time is very treasured time around our house! Hudsen loves playing in the tub. Tim gave him a bath a couple of nights ago and this is what they did. I just had to share a few!

What do you think?

I think..........father and son look a whole lot alike!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

We hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! We ate too much and had fun on Hudsen's first Thanksgiving! He tried cranberry salad, turkey and sweet potatoes. He was only a fan of the cranberry salad, the rest he just spit right back out! We are now ready for Hudsen's First Birthday and then Christmas!! We can't wait!

Monkey Boy

Tim and I had decided not to dress Hudsen up for Halloween. Our reasoning was that he was not trick-or-treating and he couldn't eat the candy. So he wore his Halloween shirt and we began carving our pumpkins in the backyard after lunch. Then we began to decorate our front porch for the trick-or-treaters. I started to feel like a bad parent for not dressing him up, so Tim and I decided to find a costume. So we went to the place that you go to for everything especially last minute.........Wal-mart!!! We found a monkey costume and Hudsen looked so cute!! I am so glad we decided to dress him up and we had so much fun handing out candy to the little ones. Next year Hudsen will be able to trick-or-treat and we can't wait!

This is our tradition. We carve pumpkins every year and next year Hudsen will be able to help!

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone has a SAFE and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
