Christmas with the Grandmas

Dear Hudson,
Our last stop in Wisconsin was to visit Grandma Vicki and Grandma Teri.  You got to spend more time with Auntie Karen and a little time with Ary.  We went to the cheese factory and saw the lights in Marshfield.  Mommy got to have lunch with Miranda and Gilbe.  What a fun trip we had to Wisconsin.
Love,
Mommy











christmas with grandpa and grammy

Dear Hudson,
While we were in Wisconsin, we got to see Grandpa and Grammy for an afternoon.  They came to Oma and Opa's house.  We went out to lunch and then just hung out.  You did great during lunch as long as someone was walking around with you.  You also got to meet Auntie Karen for the first time.  You liked sitting in her wheelchair and pushing her around the house.
Love,
Mommy










christmas with oma and opa





Dear Hudson,
We had so much fun with Oma and Opa at Christmas.  We got to spend time with Auntie Bonnie & Uncle Larry and Gavin, Ava and Breven.  We also got to see Auntie Patti and Uncle Ron.  On Christmas Eve, we went to see the Van de Casteele side of the family.  
You had so much fun opening presents and helped pass them out to every one.  You would scrunch up your face when you got excited and sometimes it was hard to tell if you were happy or sad.  Such fun memories!
Love,
Mommy

Dear Hudson
After celebrating our family Christmas, we went to the park because it was such a beautiful day.  We've had so many nice days this winter.  It's great to be about to play outside.
Love,
Mommy

family christmas

Dear Hudson,
Before we headed back to Wisconsin for Christmas, we had our own little family Christmas.  It was perfect.  Nothing too big, just stockings and a few little presents under the tree.  Daddy surprised me with a new camera, so we had lots of fun taking pictures and experimenting with our new toy.  Daddy also built you a kitchen for Christmas.  You love it so much and have fun cooking along with us in the kitchen.  I sewed you an apron and some pot holders to go along.
Love,
Mommy
