One of the things I loved most about this holiday was that Hatch was home for so many days in a row! He was able to take off of work between Christmas and New Year’s, and it was a treat for us all. Anna spiked a fever Christmas night and was sick with a virus and ear infection for several days, so we laid low for a while (and I was extra thankful Hatch was around!) Towards the end of the week, we did our annual family visit to see the fun Christmas decorations at The Jefferson Hotel.
Hudson is performing a rousing rendition of Little Drummer Boy for the bell hop!
And, no visit to The Jefferson is complete with out a chat with the alligator!
The enormous ginger bread house was a huge hit among the tiny people!
It took William a while to take it all in . . . an ENTIRE house made of CANDY. It’s like his dream come true!
Mommy and Anna loved looking at all of the ornaments on the big tree . . .
And, we headed up to Maryland for our Reppard Christmas celebration!
Somehow, we lost Hudson after getting there . . .
But, we found him again!
the boys loved their time with their GiGi!
And, sister had a blast scooting all around!
Hudson loved helping to hand out gifts!
I know this is blurry, but I adore this picture . . . and, well, she is always on the move . . .
Thank you, GiGi! A book that sings to me!
So sweet!
GiGi’s books were a big hit all around . . . and they had to be read immediately! She knows her audience well!
And . . . Daddy got a big lawn tool for Christmas! Ohhh how fun!
Sister thought it was nice, too!
We had some special guests round out our Christmas visit . . .
Fire Chief Hudson
Fire Chief William
And, “Sweedish Chef” Hudson . . .
We had such a wonderful Christmas with our family! It is such a blessing to be able to celebrate together! Maybe our new chef will bake something special next Christmas . . .
