Merry Christmas

This was Hudson's first Christmas where he was old enough to take part in the Christmas festivities. He was a little tentative at first when opening gifts, and was more interested in the paper and boxes than what was inside. But once he got a few gifts under his belt, and realized there was fun stuff inside for him, he quickly began diving into the gifts and wanted to play with everything all at once. Some of the gifts that he got were a St Louis Cardinals ornament, a massager that he loves because it lights up and makes noise when you put it against a hard surface, a huge stuffed cow, a ball popper that shoots little plastic balls up in the air, a tricycle, and a wagon. He also learned that Santa says "Ho ho ho", even though he won't go anywhere near the real thing. But anytime he sees a Santa decoration, or doll, he breaks out his "Ho ho ho" and wants to play with it. He also really enjoyed Christmas lights and decorations. Every time we'd drive past a house that was lit up, he'd say "wow, pretty". He was very disappointed when we took our decorations down!
