Purple Thunder and Ninjas!

We just wrapped up a season of basketball and both kids learned a lot this season! Both were on the younger teams in their divisions, but they both had some success and wins during the season. This was the first time for Hudson to play, and this was the first year that the refs really called penalties for Reagan's age group. They both had a blast and we enjoyed watching them grow in their skills!

Hudson's Birthday Party!!

Hudson had a great birthday party at Urban Air Trampoline Park! He invited several of his friends and had a blast! It may have been really cold outside, but all of these kids were drenched in sweat by the time the party ended! We are all so blessed to have such great friends and family!

Opening Presents at Home!

John actually worked on Hudson's birthday, so we had several days to celebrate his birthday! We opened presents and he was super excited to get a BB gun this year! I guess we will have to see how many BB's get stuck in our fence. He is very safety conscious and does a great job with it. He can't wait to take it to Nan and Da's house where he will have more run to shoot!

Happy Birthday Hudson Reid!!

Happy Birthday sweet Hudson! Every year, it is amazing to me how much this boy grows and changes! His new loves are baseball, any other sport, reading, and playing with friends! He is now a big 7 year old!!

Christmas!!

Christmas was so much fun this year! The kids loved every minute of it....but had to wait for Daddy to get home from work on Christmas Day. After opening presents, we went to Nan and Da's house and so did Uncle Paul, Aunt Lydia and the girls. It was a great time!

Our Crazy Elf....Kate!

Our Elf returned at the beginning of December and had a lot of fun at the Hope house!! Kate decided to be a little more mischievous this year and got into some precarious situations! The kids loved coming down the stairs each day to see where and what Kate had gotten into! Kate also sent us Cuddles (the reindeer) this year that the kids got to sleep with at night. I can't wait for Kate to return next year!!
