'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Our Christmas Eve was everything it should be. It was filled with family, presents, ice skating, toys, yummy food, new pajamas, laughter, smiles, and love.

I think the highlight of the day was our Christmas ice skating session. Elle has only been ice skating one time before, and that time she held her dad’s hands for the entirety of the time. But today, she skated all by herself—with a little help from a metal contraption. It was the cutest thing to see her skating across the rink all alone. She was so tiny, yet so determined.

And not only was today Christmas Eve, but it was also marked three months to the day that Hudson joined our little family. It is crazy to think that one year ago we didn’t even know Hudson, and now he has changed us for the better. He is our smiley, happy, fun little—maybe not so little—boy and we all love him dearly.
