Christmas in March

Steven and Anna didn't get to come back for Christmas last year, so we had a (very!) late Christmas with them while they were here.

I love their faces here

Eva was delighted with a box of 96 crayons from Mama Flo.

Hudson got a John Deere tractor

Melissa made Eva this cute hat and coat.

Enjoying their new toys

They loved the corn box

(Actually, everyone enjoyed that one.)

There are plastic alphabet letters and objects starting with each letter hidden in the corn.

Hugh really wanted to get in on the fun!

Hudson's Second Birthday

Hudson had his second birthday while they were visiting.

Emily made the dump truck cakes.

Melissa and Hugh

Aunt Rachel and Eva

Aunt Amanda and Hugh

And here are a few pictures from Hudson's birthday shoot

Happy birthday, sweet guy.  We love you!

Three Little Cousins

This was the first time for the cousins to meet each other.

They were so sweet together.

We kept trying for the "perfect picture", and ended up with these hilarious sequences.

Hugh looks a little concerned about what's happening

A little too tight, Eva

Pretty close to perfect

 Love their eyes in this one!

Now Hudson takes a turn

Hugh smiles, but not Hudson

Hudson smiles, but not Hugh

And it gets even better with all three...

What faces!

Eva pretends to pout...

...then decides to show her silly side

Hugh looks a bit startled...

...then a little worried

 A little better, but no real smiles

Eva pauses to bestow a kiss on Hugh, and Hudson decides to show his best smile.

Ooops!  We lost one!  (And look at Hugh's eyes!)

They're getting tired now...

Let's call it a night.  Someday when they're older we'll get one with all three looking and smiling at once!
