Christmas

Sorry this is so late but we had A LOT of pictures to go through and pick out to share. We had a few Christmas celebrations this year.

We start with our first one at Grandma and Grandpa's......aka Ellen and King!




Our favorite thing is stockings and Hudsen picked up the fun in them really quick. He loved looking in a pulling things out!!










He loved his alphabet train from Brian and Erin.







He also loved his bouncing turtle! We had a wonderful Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa.
For our next one, we move to our house a few days later. We had these two early because we traveled to Plainview this year!

We have to show the kitties playing with their presents!!




Again, we love stockings!!!








We always love opening presents from our Alaska family! Isn't this cap so cute!!



Hudsen got several baseball toys and this one is a t-ball set! He knew exactly where the ball went, we did not coach him, he did this on his own!! Baseball is in his blood!






Our family Christmas 2009! It was wonderful!



We started for Plainview on the 23rd and arrived on Christmas Eve to lots of snow!!! We drove this year and I told Tim that was the last time. It is getting harder the older Hudsen gets but we made it. We didn't run into weather until 30 miles west of Amarillo and it still wasn't as bad as it could have been. We made it and that's all that mattered!




Christmas morning! Santa even knew we were in Plainview! By the way.......the rocking chair was mine that my Granny got for me and I was able to pass it on to Hudsen. My mom sent it to the North Pole to be painted and delivered on Christmas Day to Hudsen!!!





I love these two pictures of everyone! Family time is the best part of the holidays!!



The first gift that Hudsen opened was an airport from Nanny and Pappy.....aka my mom and dad!




He loved it so much we had to put it together right then.


The finished product.......he had a lot of fun while we were there playing with his airport.

I feel like I need to explain this picture! This is me and my little sister Kiley, who by the way is expecting her 2nd baby in August!!! We are so excited. But back to the picture. There are a lot of things for babies that we have always said, "I wish they made those for big people" and one of those items are the footed sleepers. Well....... they do make them for big people because my older sister, Amy, found them and gave them to Kiley and me for Christmas! We are always so cold and these are the best. I actually slept in mine that night and never once got cold!! They are awesome, Thank you Amy!

Hudsen also got his first haircut while we were there.





Doesn't he look happy to be getting his hair cut!!


Haircut by Nanny. It looks so good and don't worry, he still has curls!!!


The rest of the time there was spent eating and playing with all of our toys!!



And warming up to Pappy!!



And more snow!!
Tim's birthday is the 26th and we went out to eat....mexican food....our favorite and then to Amy and Leon's house for cake, ice cream and presents! He had another party when we got back with the Watts family, so I will post those pictures next!
We made our way home on New Year's Eve and drove the whole way! We had a wonderful Christmas and we hope that you did too. Best of wishes to everyone in 2010.

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!

Bubbles

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!
