Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The holidays were very good to us. We went on a Christmas train, did a Winter Festival and of course spent both Christmas and New Years with family and friends.

The week before Christmas we took Haleigh and Hudson and met up with our friends Jerome, Michelle and JG (Hudson's best bud) and we all climbed aboard the Christmas train. Hudson and JG got their photos with Santa. Hudson was not thrilled with Santa, and in all honesty he was quite upset and the picture shows it. Sorry I can't post it here because I don't have a scanner at home.

The first photo here is Hudson and I on the train. The second is of Hudson and JG running around while we waited to get on the train....

Christmas morning we were up bright and early at our house and Jim, Hudson and I all opened presents together. I think Hudson is finally getting this present opening business. Later on that morning Joanna, my mom & dad and Michelle, Jerome and JG all came over to play and eat Christmas dinner.

New years we went over to our friends Rod & Amy's house for a bonfire and fireworks. We had a lot of fun and Hudson really enjoyed his first time around fireworks. He would smile and giggle any time they went off. Oh, and sparklers are really cool too.

Today Hudson, Mimi and I all went to the Winter Festival in Pearland. We had so much fun! Hudson got to see a firetruck up close and personal. I believe they were trying to recruit him before we left but he decided he had better things to do than fight fires today. We then headed to the snow. Come to find out Hudson doesn't really care for snow. The whole time he was in the "snow pin" he kept saying "no" and shaking his head. I guess we will let Tia (Aunt Suzanne) keep the snow up there is Washington state for now. After we left the snow we headed for the bouncer. Hudson enjoyed this so much we had a really hard time getting him to leave so we could go ride the pony's (another thing he really enjoyed). It was a great day!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season! Best Wishes for the new year from the Deans!
