Friday my dad and Lisa saved me!They brought us dinner and a ton of groceries to save us from starvation. They played with Hudson and allowed me to relax. It was so nice and I appreciate it so much. Things like that are the BIGGEST help to me. By Friday night Hudson's fever was gone and he was acting more like himself. He loves playing with them and showing them his weekly new tricks. Plus he also gets smothered in love. Thank you so much Dad and Lisa you saved a part of my sanity and it was so nice to have so many food options! You really did too much.
Saturday Jon was home until 10AM, these few hours were the most we had seen him in 8 days. We made a big pancake breakfast since our family had not eaten together in over a week. It was delicious and Hudson loved seeing his daddy across the table. That afternoon Mrs. Burroughs, our 98 year old neighbor came over so I could shower. All I could hear upstairs was laughter. Those 2 are trouble. Hudson wants to go to her house everyday. It started snowing so we walked her home so she could get warm. But Bailey, Hudson and I ran off to the park to play!!! Wouldn't you know that I just ordered him snow gear last week and non of it arrived yet! Bailey had the most fun, Hudson was a little curious but more or less hated wearing gloves!
Sunday my sweet father in law and his wife planned for Santa and Mrs. Clause to visit Lucy and Hudson. The kids had no idea. They appeared a little worried at first but eventually warmed up to him. Hudson was terrified of Santa until he gave him a basketball and they played catch. It was so nice to have quiet time with Santa instead or waiting in a line to see him. Santa also brought crayons, coloring paper and stickers.... our favorites.
Hudson warmed up to Santa after a game of toss and even more so when they colored together. I still tried to get 1 great photo of them together but it did not happen. Hudson only loves Santa from a far.
Thank you David and Pat for planning that. It was such a treat and so special. I know that not all Santa's curl up and color with kids on the floor. Hudson and I had so much fun! He was sound asleep before 6pm! We really appreciated it and it meant a lot! We cannot wait to color and play basketball tomorrow! I look forward to telling Hudson how special that was and it was all thanks to you guys! That will always be such a special memory.
It sure is beginning to feel like Christmas!!!
Luke 2:14: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
LOVE the pictures of him and his Christmas attire! And love your new background. I've screwed mine all up and have a hummingbird header and part of christmas background (you can't even really see). I tried using the blogger design template and ugh, didn't got so well! hah! Definitely not my gift!
