Christmas Morning

We were so blessed this Christmas! We had a wonderful time and got lots of fun stuff!

Cameron got a lovely tool set. He bought it himself and wrapped it as well. I didn't know what it was until he opened it so I guess it was a suprise for one of us.

Luke actually did a wonderful job of unwrapping his gifts and believe me, he had a lot to open Christmas morning! Here he is unwrapping some Christmas books Grandma and Grandpa Hudson got for him.

He never really ripped into anything. He was very careful but lets be honest, he could care less about what was inside, he really just liked all the paper and boxes.

As you can see, Luke likes to put everything in his mouth and Christmas morning he was looking to add some extra fiber to his diet.

Breckann and Martin and the kids gave this ball popper to him. He is scared to death of it. Basically the balls go down through a tube and then are blown up in the air before they go down the ramps and tubes again. It makes a noise similar to a small vacuum and he is not too fond of it right now, but we are working on it.

I leaned in to help him open it, and also to prevent paper consumption.

Here he is still opening the same present, the morning took us forever. A lot of presents to open.

It was so exicting to see his reaction to each toy. He had a lot of fun and so did Cameron and I.

Luke really enjoyed Camerons water bottle that he got. I guess he thought it was his.

All toys must go through a taste test. This one passed. Notice the snowflake decals we put on his helmet.

Cameron got a handy little survivor book to take with him on all his camping excursions. Hopefully it will come in handy but not too handy.

Overall, best Christmas ever!!!!! We had a great day together hanging out and also got a chance to go over to Camerons parents for a little Christmas turkey and Ben Hur. We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!!

Meeting Mr. Santa Claus!

This was quite the traumatic experience but I knew that it would be with his reactions to Santa dolls and figurines as I put up the decorations for Christmas at our house. I love the Santa at University Mall because he is not wearing the traditional Santa outfit of red and white. He looks as if he paused to take a picture while busy at his toy workshop. I also like that he has a real beard. He's even curled ringlets into his hair! It was a lot of fun even though Luke was a little upset. I hope that next year will go better but with watching some of the other little ones before us getting their pictures taken I don't think that it will be any better

Attempting Christmas Card Photos

If you look closely you can see scratches on his head from the christmas tree. He is not used to having his helmet off.

We had the hardest time getting him to look at the camera. Needless to say we only used one of these pictures for our Christmas card.

His little teeth are just so adorable. He has 6 now.

Here he was looking at Cameron as I was taking the picture. We tried everything including stuffed animals and squeaky toys.

And of course there is drool all over his cute little sweater from Grandma Hudson.

This one was cute. We love our little guy. He has brought a lot of joy to us. I remember last Christmas when I was pregnant thinking that he was going to be the best Christmas present for the following year.
