Hudson's Christmas gift to us

Yesterday was Hudson's last day of school for 2011. Both of us are really going to miss it the next 3 weeks. Hudson has grown to love school so much and he has learned a ton.

Jonathan surprised him and we both were able to go to his Christmas party. We snuck up behind Hudson and he saw me first. He was excited but not as excited as he was when he saw his daddy. He kept saying, "Daddy go to school!!!"

We left with a stack of artwork and an adorably wrapped gift for mommy and daddy from Hudson. Of course, I could not wait to open it. Literally. We opened it the moment we got home. Hudson made us an ornament for our tree.


I have laughed and laughed at this ornament. First of all, it is adorable and on the back is a Christmas tree made from his hand. But that face. Look at the expression on his face. He just looks so thrilled. Second of all.... that outfit. I remember this day so clearly. It is the one day Hudson wore a tshirt and jeans to school. But we love it. It is the best Christmas gift we have ever received.
