Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Patrick, Ashley, Lola, Lucy, and Hudson packed the car up and made the trek to Fredericksburg to celebrate Hudson's first Thanksgiving. It's been an incredible time, and here's all the pictures to prove it!


 Being at her grandparents house means Lola gets to run around outside and then cool off on the cool tile afterwards!

Hudson relaxing during a grandma diaper change

even his grand daddy was there to watch


In order to prepare for the big turkey day and the food coma that would ensue, Grandad and Hudson settled in for a nice nap in the recliner....they were out for hours!


Ashley and Lola sat by and watched

Before they knew it Thanksgiving day was here! The day started out with a turkey trot, and even Hudson took part.

Some people eat what they shoot on thanksgiving. Today, we'd prefer not to have to worry about our hunting for our food.... we'll just shoot some skeet for fun!

A Direct Hit!

 When all the fun and games were over, it was down to the serious business..... FOOD


FRIED TURKEY IS A MUST!

Lola and Lucy had fun exploring the yard and running around like wild women

Patrick's favorite part of the day was getting to dress up in the same outfit as his pride and joy






I'm staring at you uncle john!







After an hour or so of patiently smelling the frying turkey..... IT WAS TIME!


Shortly after his meal, Patrick fell into a deep turkey coma and stopped taking pictures.... the rest came the next day...



Patrick and Hudson all dressed up and ready for Santa!

he's not sleeping, he's rehearsing his list for Santa in his head




Santa came down the chimney!



 

Ashley stood aside and let Hudson tell Santa privately what he wanted.

Santa called Ashley over and wanted to know if she and Patrick would like more sleep for Christmas


And if Hudson's day wasn't big enough, he got to meet his cousin Dawson for the very first time! They were good buddies right from the get go!






Here's some new and some old just to make you smile. Everything from new videos of our current baby, to old videos of our older baby lucy that we never got around to posting... enjoy!
