Christmas {finally}

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I finally have a moment to breathe and I AM BLOGGING! Warning: Not enough patience to cover all of Christmas in one post + lots 'o pics!!! But what a wonderful Christmas it was. First...THANK YOU to everyone who was so generous to us and esp. to Hudson-man! I'm pretty sure he thinks December is "Hudson Month" since all he does is open gifts for his birthday and Christmas. And it showed...all gifts were fair game...if you didn't open your gift fast enough, he was sure to help you!
Christmas 2008 started last weekend with my mom & Sister. One of our traditions is to draw names which makes shopping more economical and {a little} easier! Mom always has lots of yummy food planned, including our traditional Shrimp Creole Christmas Eve dinner & Christmas Morning Brunch. This year, we enjoyed riding a real train {from the Parkman farm} around Camelot. The kiddos loved it, and it was a perfect night to be outside looking at the wonderful Christmas lights! It is so much fun to watch Mallory & Harper play, and now Hudson thinks he's a big boy so he trys to get in on the fun...but the key word being "try!" After mom's, we came home to enjoy a short week before Christmas Eve & Morning as a family then to celebrate with Kevin's family.
