MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
You know what that means.... raking leaves and mowing the lawn???
That's right, it's December and we are going to church with our legs showing.
This year Santa was coming to visit Hudson in Fredericksburg, so the Holmes family packed up and headed North...
 |
| Hudson insisted on making sure the house was good and clean for Santa. He enlisted Grandma to teach him how to vacuum |
 |
| Lola missed out on sitting on Santa's lap this year, so she thought she could sneak in a few last minute requests with Grandaddy |
On Christmas Eve, Hudson squeezed on some clothes that didn't fit Daddy anymore (30 year vintage) and had good food and good times with close family.
Hudson was so excited for Santa that he woke up at 5:30 and insisted that Daddy get up and play with him...
Eventually the rest of the family woke up and it was PRESENT TIME!
Even on Christmas day, there is always time to cuddle with puppies.
And fooseball!
Of course, one of Hudson's favorite toys was the box that his blocks came in!
 |
| we can pull things out of it... |
 |
| we can play with the dogs on top of it... |
 |
| even grandma got in on the action! |
 |
| Hudson made sure that he made the rounds and played with everyone... even if it was with dog toys... |
 |
| all this Christmas stuff made Hudson tired. Sometimes when visiting with family, you just have to lay down and rest |
One of the best gifts that we received this year was a smoker.... Hudson couldn't wait to try some good BBQ
