christmas part 3

Dear Hudson,
At your third Christmas you got to see Grandpa Gene and Grammy Annette.  They were so excited to see you because they hadn't seen you since you were two months old!  You also got to meet Santa!!!!!!  I thought you would scream as soon as you saw him, but you sat on his lap for about 5 minutes opening your present.  Your cousin Rebecca was also very excited to see you and didn't really leave your side.
Love,
Mommy

Christmas part 2

 Dear Hudson,
The second part of our trip to Wisconsin was spent in Rapids with Grandma Vicki & Grandma Teri.  We had lots of fun there too.  You got lots of presents on Christmas morning.  Santa even left you a stocking.  There was lots of snow so we took you outside for awhile to play in it.  We also went to look at the lights at the Marshfield Zoo.
You really make Christmas fun!
Love,
Mommy

visiting friends

Dear Hudson,
While we were in Wisconsin, we got to visit some of Mommy and Daddy's friends from college.  They sure were excited to see you.  We hung out with Jess and her two boys Sam and Eli.  You were trying to figure out how they were able to move so quickly.  We also got to see Miranda and her family.  Aaron and Alison B. had us over for dinner along with Ben & Lisa Collier and their daughter Sophia (sorry no pictures of the Colliers).  It was so nice to get to see everyone.
Love,
Mommy

Christmas part 1

 Dear Hudson,
We had a great time at Oma & Opa's in Wisconsin celebrating Christmas.  You did pretty well on the car ride out.  There were about 3 hours when you were done riding in your car seat, but for the most part, you were an awesome traveler.
We spent the weekend with Oma, Opa, Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Larry, Gavin, Ava, Aunt Patti, and Ron.  There were lots of presents and you got lots and lots of kisses. 
While we were home, you were not the best sleeper.  You would only sleep in the bed with mommy so poor Daddy had to sleep on couches and air mattresses. 
We took lots of pictures because it was your first Christmas.  I tried to pick our favorite ones.  We had so much fun celebrating with you.
Love,
Mommy

3. Learn to walk
4. Remember how to sleep
5. Turn 1

I think it's going to be a great year for you!
Love,
Mommy
