A White Christmas

What a great first Christmas Hudson had this year. We first celebrated two weekends before with Grandma and Grandpa Frericks. We had a great meal and she received some awesome gifts! It was a fun night.

We followed that up with a trip to Atlanta to spend the week and celebrate Christmas with all the Halters...and what a crazy week it was.

It started with Hudson finally meeting her new best friend/future college roommate and teammate (of some sport...haha) - Blake Boyle. They had a great time getting to know each other as you can see below. It was quite funny that Blake is 6 months old and Hudson is 2 months old and they are more or less the same size...but hey every team needs a point gaurd and a center!

Blake and Hudson Finally meeting

After meeting Blake we had a great girls lunch with Miss Cori, Blake and her Grandma, Aunt Rachael and her mom and SueSue. Rachael, Cori and I were all in each other's weddings and have known each other for years....so it was so special to get everyone together again! It was so fun to get all the girls together and catch up!

Then along came Christmas. It started with a party at my cousin Michael's house. We had great food and a fun visit. We had a great Christmas Eve meal with all the Halters and wow were her cousins excited for Santa. As you can see below Hudson was fired up for Santa also...

The newest Elf on the Shelf

As it turns out, Hudson had been a very good girl and Santa found her all the way in Atlanta. She got some great presents and as you can see below...she loves them all. She can already sit in her Bumbo seat and can't wait till this summer to use her new life jacket at the lake. She and I also love her Baby Bjorn and can't wait to use it even more!

Santa was good to Hudson

After we opened gifts at SueSue and BooBoo's house, we headed over to Pace and Eileen's house to continue the presents. Santa had been good to her cousins and we had a great day celebrating. On top of all the wonderful family time, Hudson's first Christmas turned out to be a white one! It was so exciting to have snow on Christmas!

A white Christmas in the south!

Overall, we could not have asked for a better first Christmas! Great time with our wonderful families!
