Hudson's Birthday Party

Although Hudson is not technically ONE YEAR OLD until tomorrow, we had his birthday party tonight. Even though a one year old has no clue what is going on, we just couldn't let this special day pass without celebrating our sweet one year old! One whole year baby!

I made this banner with some of my favorite pictures of him, one from every month. I've actually kept it up all week and I love looking at all the sweet pictures of my baby, remembering each precious stage of his beautiful little life!

 We kept the party pretty simple. It was just our little family, my parents and Will and Kate. We watched "the Hudson movie" as Chase calls it- a movie I made of his first year. And then we opened presents. Unlike Chase at his first birthday, Hudson had really no interest in unwrapping the presents, but seemed pretty interested in the toys once they were unwrapped. So Chase did all the honors of unwrapping, he was thrilled to help. Huds was most intrigued by this little bag-

 ...and then it was this little post-it note. 

 But thanks to everyone for the sweet gifts!

He is one loved little boy!

And then we had cupcakes!

Hudson was so delighted when everyone sang to him, 

he started singing along in his own little way!

Chase blew out his candle for him.

 And then he went to town on his little cupcake!

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves-

he sure loved it!

Oh we all love this sweet boy!

Happy Birthday Hudson James!
