Our Christmas season was full of fun and festivity this year. Although we were not with family during the 24th or 25th - we were oh so very grateful for having both Grandma (before Christmas) and Mimi (after Christmas) to be with us "around" the holiday season. Our Christmas was wonderfully peaceful and cozy. We were thankful to not be traveling (although the down side to that was obviously not being around all of our families). It was nice to be at home and to have a calm and relaxing time with the boys. Without a doubt - we were celebrating that we had our fourth little boy around the tree with us, enjoying his first Christmas - and I think we'd all agree that Hudson is our favorite gift! Although I took a whole lot of pictures in December, here is a small taste of what our holidays looked like. Again, it can not be said enough times that my Mom and Mary Beth were such a blessing and helped make everything a little brighter - and saner - during this crazy time of life :) Thank you beautiful ladies :)
Decorating the tree!
Part of our Christmas fun included making
a gingerbread house...due to a newborn in the
house, this was a project that was done in
steps and the fun lasted several nights
before it was all done!
Our Christmas eve kiddos! My 4, Kate & Caleb.
So thankful to share our traditional Christmas eve dinner with our
dearest friends, James and Erin Henderson (Kate & Caleb)
and Beth (behind the camera in this shot!)
Celebrating with Christmas carols & sparklers.
There is Beth - we were glad she came back to visit!
Baby Hudson's first Christmas! He was alert and smiling about it!
Christmas eve jammies - a special gift

Our tradition of Daddy reading his boys

Christmas morning family snapshot!
In all the excitement of opening gifts, Reecer lost another tooth!!
(I think he was trying to rip open the package containing his lego set!)
Mimi spoiled these boys rotten!
Hope your Christmas was a special time for you and yours and that 2010 brings lots of growth, grace and goodness!
