New Years Eve 2013

The last of the November/December Holiday Trifecta has come and gone.

Here's the recap...

Hudson was still home from school enjoying his vacation, but kept himself busy doing lots of the school activities he was used to.

Here is Hudson's first masterpiece.... Can you tell what it is?????
That's right, it IS an alligator laying out in the sun!

Here is Hudson performing his favorite party trick.... Flexing while eating.

Before Hudson knew it, Grammy and Papa had completed their journey south and were in Virginia Beach.

In all the confusion around Hudson being sick, Santa had left some presents in New York. Grammy and Papa were happy to bring them down for him!

Watch his reaction as he sees his New Trainset!

Even when he is sleepy, Hudson always has time to show his grandparents all his new toys

Hudson didn't have any money to buy presents for his grandparents, however he did his best to learn as many tricks and new talents as possible.

Papa


Touchdown


How Big Are You?

okay, so he is using the same gestures in both videos.... still cute!

Even Mommy got to open some new presents 

Grammy almost forgot!!! WAIT, I HAVE JUST DANCE 2014 FOR EVERYONE TO PLAY!

All pictures and videos from "Just Dance" have been omitted due to the public humiliation that would accompany any of those caught in action. Those images are in the process of being destroyed

Meanwhile, Ashley gets the Dining Room ready for our New Years Feast!

King Papa looks good in his crown!

When the food was done, and the dishes were clean, it was time to reset the dining room for the New Years Day Brunch....

Hudson didn't quite get the memo about clothing being required for the party....

Bloody Mary Bar in the Man-Cave.... We all know where Patrick was camping out!

The people left, and it was time for comfy clothes and playing in Hudson's play-room...

More fun time tickling at mealtime


Doggy Love Fest

It has been brought to the attention of the "Editor"that there were some photographs that never made it up onto the blog.... Here's a little trip down memory lane.

The following are pictures that were hidden away on Patrick's phone from the UVA/UNC football game at Chapel Hill.

Our all-star tailgater and his Grandma

Best seats in the house!

Best seats for napping that is...

wild man on the loose!

You know how the president and VP are protected when they travel? Well in our family, we protect the important people as well. Here you can see the prized baby riding in his Chariot, being pushed by the Queen, and flanked by 2 body guards.
