Hudson's New Horse

For Thanksgiving, the stables where my parents live had bouncy horse races for the kids. We went down to go watch but Hudson did not want to participate. They ended up giving Hudson the bouncy horse anyways. Now we can't keep him off it. He thinks it is so much fun bouncing around the house. He has races!

Finley's New Seats

This morning we brought out the Bumbo and the activity center for Finley to play in. She loved them both. When I put her in the Bumbo, Hudson asked if he could sit next to her so I could take pictures of them. He is so cute with her. He always wants to be near her.

Happy Birthday Nana!!

Today is Nana's birthday. We were still up in Carmel so we weren't able to spend the day with her. Hudson was excited to call her and sing her Happy Birthday though. We hoped that she had a great day and looked forward to seeing her when we got back!!! Hudson gave a sad look to the camera when he found out he wasn't going to be able to give Nana a hug and kiss for her birthday ;)

Fire Truck

While we were having dinner the fireman came into the restaurant to eat. Of course Grandpa Matt knows them all so he asked if Hudson could go sit in the fire truck. He was so excited but nervous at the same time. Once he got in the truck he would not let go of Grandpa Matt. It is funny to see how shy and cautious he is in some circumstances.

Dinner

We all went to dinner with all of my Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and Grandparents from my Dads side tonight. It was great to see everyone. It was the first time that everyone got to meet Finley. We wish we live closer to see everyone more often!!!

Uncle J's House

Today we drove up to Palo Alto to see Grandpa Matt for Thanksgiving. We got up there early so we went to go see Uncle Jasons new apartment. Hudson had a good time exploring and it was really nice to see where Jason lives. After Grandpa Matt got off work he came over to hang out before we went to dinner with all of his family.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today we hung out with my family. This year Uncle Jason, Uncle Robby, Aunt Cammy and Aunt Gabi came to Thanksgiving. We spent all day cooking and spending time together. We had a great dinner. We are so thankful to have such great families and friends!!!!!

Being Mellow

Here are some cute pictures from the afternoon. The kids took naps and we just had a relaxing afternoon with my family. I thought the picture of Finley and Dave was cute. She looks tiny!

Horses

Hudson wanted to go to the barn to look at the horses this morning. He had lots of fun feeding carrots to them. I was suprised that he wasn't scared of them. They even tried to give him kisses!! I had to take a picture of Finley because she fell asleep hiding in her jacket.

Carmel

We are up in Carmel with Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Rob for Thanksgiving. Today we went down to this really neat kids park in Monterey. Hudson had a blast on the train and all the different types of slides. Of course my camera died so I have no pictures of it. This afternoon we went for a walk into the woods. It was a bit chilly but still a nice day.

Hudson and Finley

Hudson wanted to take pictures with Finley this evening after bathtime. Too bad the shadow is in Finleys face of the two of them.

Visit from Uncle Robby

We got a surprise visit from Uncle Robby today for dinner. He was down visiting his girlfriend who goes to USC. He got to meet Finley for the first time who was having a hard time because she had gotten 2 shots that day. Hudson had a great time wrestling with him. He even made Robby wear the Shark hat!!

Sitting with Daddy

This morning the kids were sitting with Daddy having a fun time. Hudson and Finley decided they wanted to give me their mug shots once I got the camera out. Figures!!!

Finley

Here are some pictures of our little girl who is growing up quickly!!!

Climbing

This afternoon Finley took a nap in her big crib. She started to cry and I was in my office. All of a sudden on the monitor I hear Hudson go in and try and console her. I walk in there to find him climbing her crib wanting to get in. He is such a good big brother.
