Blog Identity Crisis

Sorry my blog is going through a major identity crisis. I just can't decide what I like. I don't want the blog to be too girly because it is a blog about the entire family but I want it to be me! Tell me what you think. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night

We had a wonderful Christmas. Hudson got lots of presents from Santa. He had a great day playing with all of his new toys. We are all exhausted from a very long Christmas Day. Now I am off to bed.

Enjoy some pictures of our day!

3 Days until Christmas

Hudson becomes more and more interested in the Christmas tree as time goes by. He likes to touch the ornaments. He walks over to the tree and points and all the balls. He is so cute and so SMART.

I managed to catch a few pictures of him looking at the Christmas Tree.

Here Comes Santa Claus, Take 2

Here is Hudson's 2nd visit with Santa. Mom helped out this time. Still not a great picture. Maybe next year!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

This weekend we went to the Falcons game and Hudson stayed in Columbus and played with his cousin Tucker. Here are some phones my Sister in law sent me of Hudson. I think he is just the cutest kid in the world.

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas

We have finally made some progress with our Christmas Decorations. Our Tree looks Fabulous. As promised I have included a picture of the Finished Tree and I had to include some pictures of our really cute stockings that match our Christmas Tree Skirt. I love Pottery Barn!

O Christmas Tree

Tonight we went and picked out our Christmas Tree. Hudson had a ball. He went around saying Tree the entire time. Here are a few photos. We are going to decorate the tree tomorrow night. I will post a picture of the finished product. In true Griswald fashion I had to post a picture of the tree on top of the car and I got sap all over my hands. Now I just wish I had some of those moose mugs to drink eggnog out of and a dog named Snot drinking the tree water. Oh how I love Christmas Vacation!

and here are my 5 Addictions!

1. Hudson
He is the most wonderful little boy in the entire world. He is a total Mama's boy and he loves to say Mama all the time. It just melts my heart. He is also one of the cutest toddlers I have ever seen, if I do say so myself. It has been so amazing watching him grow. I cannot wait for Christmas. He is going to have so much fun!

2. Cookies, Cakes and Cupcakes
I love baking these days. I find it so relaxing. I can't wait to make Christmas Cookies next week for an Office party and Cupcakes for a girls dinner. Maybe I should go eat some frosting now. YUM!

3. My Family
I have the best family! My parents and brother are amazing. We always have so much fun when we are together. And they adore their Grandson. I always laugh until I cry which is a good thing. Ever heard the saying laughter is the best medicine. My new family is pretty great too. Brad is an amazing husband and father (what more could a girl ask for). My in-laws are wonderful people. They have so much love to give and are truly genuine people. They have adopted me with open arms. I am so grateful to have a great relationship with my in-laws.

4. Wine
I love wine. I always have so much fun when drinking wine with family and friends! Brad and I went on our Honeymoon to Napa Valley and I fell in love with wine. We have a wine frig in our kitchen and we have wine from our honeymoon and wine from Italy. Alright we have some grocery store bottles in there too.

5. It's a TIE - T.V. and the Internet
I could not live without either. I love watching all my favorite shows. Gray's, Biggest Loser, The Hills, Jon and Kate Plus 8, Top Chef - just to name a few. I love reading other peoples blogs, I love email and Online Shopping. Definitely could not live with out the internet!

I Don't know who to tag, So I tag Everyone that wants to play along!

Jingle All the Way, Not Really

I think the picture pretty much sums up how Hudson feels about Santa. Not sure he understands who Santa is. Maybe next year he will realize that Santa brings all the presents.

**We are home from a great trip to Austin. I will post pictures from the week later.**

Until Then, Merry Christmas!!!

Thankful

I am Thankful for Hudson. He is such a cool toddler. I am so lucky that I get to me his Mom. I am also thankful for the fact that Brad, Hudson and I will travel to Austin on Saturday to see my family. We are so excited. More posts from Austin!!

Best Friends

I couldn't resist posting these adorable pictures of Hudson and Maverick. Hudson has been paying a lot of attention to Maverick these days. Maverick likes having a new playmate. I managed to snap a few pictures of Hudson and Mav.

Playing with Mac

Hudson's friend Mac came over to play last weekend. Maverick's friend Riley came too. The boys had a lot of fun watching the dogs play in the backyard.

Geogia - Auburn Weekend

Kristen and Philip came down from Atlanta this weekend. We had a great weekend. We headed to Auburn on Saturday to watch the Dawgs play. The game was really exciting and we are happy that the Dawgs won. Here are some pictures from our Day at Georgia- Auburn.
