this was the best pic we could get of the kids with their ears on

Colson LOVES dogs!  He calls them "woofie" and so I had to have a dog party.  It was such a fun party to prepare for.  Notice the adorable, fluffy, pink dog ears that I couldn't resist making. :)

Everyone came to my house this year which was so fun!  It was neat to see the boys play with your cousin Jackson who was 15 months at the time.  We went to the Christmas Train in Alvin, read stories, played games and hung out.  


Hudson's Christmas Musical

Hudson has been in small programs where he has sung maybe 2 or 3 songs, but this year he was in an actual musical that was an hour long.  Unfortunately, Ben had a business trip and his plane was delayed so he didn't make it back in time.  Thankfully my mom came up and was a BIG help!  Colson was all over me and Landon wouldn't sit still so without my mom it would've been a nightmare.

Before we left the house, I caught Hudson putting toilet paper in the pocket on his shirt.  He said he was trying to find a handkerchief, like gentleman wear, but couldn't find any.  So he got the bright idea to use toilet paper. :)

We got a great spot right in front of Hudson.  The first song started and I began to record when all of a sudden the tears began to flow.  I didn't expect this at all.  All of a sudden I realized that my first born was growing up and I couldn't control my emotions.  Of course not only was I crying, but my mom was too, and Landon was just looking at us like we were crazy. :)  Here is just a short recording of that night:
