Christmas in NC

Put up tree with help from Hudson. Had to take it down early though... because we were headed to North Carolina to visit Brian's family for Christmas. Had a fun trip visiting friends and family. Never enough time to do everything and see every one but we'll take it.

At Hudson's Nana and Grandad house. Not much fun taking the red eye to get there. Arrived to a couple inches of snow on the ground, but roads were clear.

early christmas

Early christmas present came for hudson. Since it's too big to take w/ us to North Carolina for christmas he got an early present. Hudson says thanks to Nana and Grandad!



Notice how he shakes the steering wheel when he wants to move. He learned that from mom and dad.

Newest house project was building a baby gate that easily opens and closes and has a hole that cats can fit through but not hudson. we'll see how sturdy it is once he rams into it on the dump truck.
