Christmas!

It's good to be home! We had a wonderful Christmas with my family in College Station this year!
Here is a recap of what we did:

Saturday the 19th we celebrated Christmas with my mother's side of the family. We enjoyed munching on non-traditional food (which I loved) and had our annual white elephant gift exchange. The desserts were wonderful and the best part was that everyone was able to be there this year! We walked away with a new set of knives (that my precious husband then gave to my grandmother, Janie) and a Starbucks card!

During the week we mostly hung out at my parent's house. Jason and I watched all of the Harry Potter movies, which was fun! Jason spent lots of time at our farm helping my dad and uncle build the new bathroom in the farmhouse. They are trying to make the house wife-friendly! My uncle is putting in wood floors and a flat screen! Jason and I had a few coffee dates and a date to Eccell while we were there. It's always so special when we get to do that. On Christmas Eve we went to the Christmas service at Grace.

Hudson practiced sitting up a lot.



Christmas Eve dinner was A-mazing! We had steaks, chicken, and potatoes. Then, Jason and I exchanged our stockings. My dad, bro in law, Jason, and I played hearts. It was so fun and apparently I'm pretty good because I wooped them all - I shot the moon for a come from behind win =) After a pretty good night of sleep (Hudson insisted on a 3 am feeding because it was Christmas) we gathered to exchange our gifts. Then we had omelets and blueberry pancakes!



1. Jason opens his meat grinder! Yes, that is a red-onesie.
2. My favorite Lindt dark chocolate with orange.
3. Hudson's new stuffed turtle puppet.
4. The best Christmas gift ever.

After we had homemade spaghetti and meatballs for Christmas dinner, Hudson had his first Christmas dinner! We gave him rice cereal for the first time. His reaction was expected. He made this face like he was about to cry.





After dinner and cupcakes we put Hudson to bed, and all of the siblings headed out to the farm for a bonfire and a game of loaded questions. We always love these times with everybody.





Grandmommy and Granddaddy loved seeing all of their babies!



Happy New Year!
