Hudson Turns FIVE!

 On January 24th, our sweet Hudson turned five years old! We can't believe he's that old already, it went way too fast! We loved celebrating our sweet kid. The Sunday before his birthday we did the family party at Nana and Papa's- he got presents from them and his aunt and uncle and we had cake (funfetti cupcakes, per his request). It was a fun night! He got little lego-juniors from Nana and Papa and then spent the next few days playing with them constantly, and telling anyone and everyone he met about them!

On his birthday we did presents in the morning and then he went out to breakfast with Ben. They both loved it! Now that we have three kids, these one on one dates feel even more special and important. They went to Granny Annie's (Hudson's fav) and he got chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream.

 We went to Get Air trampoline park and the boys had a great time. Hudson loved these foam pits you could jump into, and Chase did a lot of flips. We came home and had waffles for dinner and put the kids to bed. Hudson had a huge smile on his face all day long!

A little about FIVE year old Hudson:

• He's started reading! The last few months he's really figured out how to sound out words and is doing so well with beginning reading! 
• Loves riding his two wheeled bike. He tries super hard to keep up with Chase, even with those little wheels and his little legs just pumping so fast! He always has a grin on his face while he's riding.
• His favorite foods are blueberries, grillies (quesedillas), cookies, waffles and pizza.
• He loves preschool. They are learning the sign language ABCs which he's so excited to show me every time I pick him up.
• He makes the cutest facial expressions while he talks- it's so charming and endearing.
• Hudson has such a big vocabulary for a five year old. I kind of forget because I'm used to him talking, but other adults always tell me how wow-ed they are from words he uses.
