#12: Hudson's First Christmas

Hudson celebrated his first Christmas yesterday, at 13 days old! We started off our Christmas celebration with Christmas Eve service at Bel Air Presbyterian church. It was a beautiful service and there were 2 other newborns sitting in front and behind us that were born within days of Hudson. Following church we came home and had a homemade lasagna dinner with my parents.

On Christmas morning Hudson woke up at 6:30am, so I fed him and put him back down for some more sleep. After his 9:30am feeding we all gathered around the Christmas tree and started to open our stockings. While Indiana got a white Christmas with beautiful snow, we enjoyed our version of a white Christmas with our DVD of winterscapes and Christmas music looping on our TV. It was the best of both worlds!

Mommy and Daddy got Hudson a little activity owl for when he's a little older (3 months), Grammie and Papa (my parents) got him a warm long john from Baby Gap, Santa brought him a Baby Einstein music book, and my sweet Aunt Karen sent him the adorable "elf" outfit and book One With Sky that came with a cute finger puppet! Hudson gets an extended Christmas with his other grandparents, Nana and Pops, who are visiting later this week.

Later in the afternoon we drove down to the beach and a took a stroll outside. After over 8 days of rain, it was nice to get outside and enjoy what we love most about LA - the weather!
