Happy Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving with Jeremy's family this year since we were going to Utah for Christmas.  Mandy and Steve came, so Corbin had a great time with the boys.

Things were very lively.  Can't you see the excitement???

In all reality, we had a great time with family.  It was nice to spend Thanksgiving and not have to travel too far home.  Last year was great, but the snow on the ride back was not the best.

11 Months Old

Hudson turned eleven moths in November.

• I have to say that Hudson is such a happy boy.
• He had seven teeth (4 top and 3 bottom)
• Can crawl up the stairs, but struggles go down correctly
• Wears 12-18 Mo Clothes
• Still takes two naps a day
• prefers Mom to Dad
• Still loves his bath
• Likes people more and more every day
• He will still eat anything
• Says Mom, Dad, No and Ow

He is such a great member of our family and we can't imagine life without him.

Fry and A Fish

Corbin got a toy food set from my parents, and Hudson absolutely loves the crinkle cut fries.  This is a usual site of him during the day.

It means there is pretty much no need for a pacifier other than while in bed or in his car seat.

This picture of the boys doing "fish faces" just cracked me up.  We had been trying to teach Hudson how to make "kissy" lips, but got this instead.

Once Corbin saw him doing it, the copying was on.  Corbin would do it, and Hudson would copy.  They can go on and on like that forever.

Decorating The Kids Tree

We let Corbin do most of the decorating of the Christmas tree we have upstairs.  We started decorating the day before Thanksgiving and decorated in parts so that it wasn't all done in one piece.

Hudson just wanted to get into the decorations and play with them.

Corbin was very specific about the placement of bulbs and the proximity of the same color bulbs.  I think he gets that from me...

The highlight for him was to put the star on top.  I think he's seen too many Christmas shows.

Hudson was in awe of all of the lights.  He didn't really want to touch the ornaments.

Family Pictures

 We had a lady at Jeremy's work offer to take our family pictures for us, and we couldn't pass that up.  

It was really cold out side the day we took them.  So we hurried and took a few.  I had to put this one of Hudson up because this is a face he pulls all of the time.

We were lucky we had a few good ones.  I really took for granted how easy it was doing family pictures when we just had Corb.

Happy Halloween

On Halloween, I took the boys to Jeremy's work.  They showed off their costumes and saw Jeremy in his...  Hudson was a little hesitant with Jeremy and that hair.  They also got to do a little Trick or Treating there.  Everyone at Jeremy's work dresses up and decorates their areas to match their theme.

Corbin got all painted up again to trick or treat around the circle.

Hudson was so good.  He kept the eye patch and clip-on earring on the entire time.

Corbin really loved Halloween.  He thought it was so great that we got to celebrate it for 3 days.  He got way too much candy, but loved every second of it.   The next morning he asked me if he got to go Trick or Treating again.  I thought the boys looked so cute.

Pratt Halloween Party

We've tried to institute the Huntsman Halloween tradition with the Pratt family here.  We had everyone over for some soup and family time.

Here's Erin holding Hudson while he's wearing Jeremy's mullet wig.

Everyone chlling at the bar after eating.

It turned out to be a nice day.  The kids loved playing out on the trampoline.
