Christmas with the Hudspeth's

Well, of course I wanted to get this post done in December, but obviously that didn't happen so better late than never right?! We had a great Christmas this year. The girls are at a really fun age and the boys were so cute too! By the way this was Bennett's first Christmas! We had a busy holiday like I'm sure everyone else did, but it's always nice to enjoy family, reflect on Christ's birth and remember how blessed we are.
On Christmas Eve we enjoyed a nice service at church and then headed over to Gram and Pop's to open presents with Brandan's moms family. Christmas morning my family came over to our house and we had a yummy breakfast. Christmas afternoon we went to Brandan's mom's house and then Christmas evening we made our way to Brandan's dads. Whewww, okay I'm tired just thinking about it all again...here goes the picture breakdown:)



To start off Christmas Lainie came over and took pictures of all the Hudspeth grandkids (very entertaining;) and thanks to her I was able to get out last minute Christmas cards!

Preschool Christmas Party

Today was Drew's Christmas party at preschool. I must say this party was much more relaxed than the Halloween party. I think I learned the hard way that it is MUCH easier for me to get a babysitter for Bennett than to try and take him. So, Bennett stayed with Nana this time and Drew and I went to the party. We had fun! We had a "breakfast with santa" meal, sat on santa's lap, played pin the nose on rudolph and gave Mrs. Joyce her gift. Here are some pics of the party.

"What do you want for Christmas Finley?"

Drew just sat and smiled at santa... she wouldn't tell him a thing!

Look what santa gave me!

Pretty sure Drew didn't close her eyes...

We walked over to Mrs. Susan's room to see Evie

Wordless Wednesday

Sweet Singin'

Wednesday night Drew had her little music program at church and it was the most adorable thing I've ever seen! They sang the sweetest songs, the motions were precious and their little voices just melted my heart. I wasn't sure how she would do up on stage, but she did so good! I was one proud mommy! I was definitely in full nerd mom mode.... you know, waving like a lunatic, thumbs up, the whole bit... you get the picture. I didn't care one bit because when Drew's eyes met mine her face lit up and I'm pretty sure mine did the same! My pictures didn't turn out all that great because I wasn't nearly as close as I would have liked, but I still got a few good ones.:)

Walk This Way

I found these two pictures of Bennett and Drew in the same poses. I really don't think they look that much alike?? I see glimpses of similarities... cute little stinkers ;)

Preschool Pictures

I was so excited and proud of how well Drew's preschool pictures turned out that I had to share. We had to preorder the package and of course I got the biggest package... so either I was going to have alot of bad pictures and a funny memory OR lots of really great pictures to share with everyone!! I will definitely be sharing these! I am so proud of her :)
