For months, he’s been counting down the days.   Now, he’s at grandma’s while I finish up his present, and get ready for his “big” birthday party.  Big meaning that Hudson got to pick the snack – chocolate cake, cheese curls, hot apple cider and cold Root Beer – quite a combination!

  Taking pictures of my guy can be a little, um, a lot, tricky, so I tried to really get him excited about this one and even had grandma come along.  We started out pretty good….

then, for some unexplained reason, Happy Hudson became Grumpy Hudson

but finally, with mommy acting like an idiot and making rediculous statements, I got what I was looking for; my angel boy

I love you forever Hudson
