Ryder Hudson

How am I not making money off this face?

Christmas Eve 2013

Penny, Ryder & Caden



Looking for Santa










Feeding the reindeer

Decorating Cookies & Building Gingerbread Houses

Um, that was more work that I thought.  Pretty sure I won't be doing that ever again.

Letters to Santa

Yeah, it was about 10º outside, so we had to make this quick.  I didn't even park in a spot.  Just right in front of the mailbox.

CFFD Potluck Christmas Party

I wanted Ryder to wear his bow tie to the party, but he didn't have a shirt to wear.  This one was too small.

Our attempt to get our kids in a photo!  Love it.



















Caden & Julia made sure they had good "seats"  haha




Molly & Riley.  Um GORGEOUS!




They were meant for each other!  So cute!   Ryder & Abby.




Patiently waiting for his name.  Ha  I'm surprised he didn't go up there on each gift to make sure his name wasn't on it.

Opening Birthday Gifts

The Nighttime Wind Down

After seeing two Santas, going to two holiday parties and opening up Ryder's birthday gifts.  This is how we wind down.  HAHA  

Christmas @ the Bitners' House

So, Ryder does NOT like Santa.  He had to see two of them in one day & didn't like it at all.




HAHA  I love how he is still crying when I'm holding him.  It looks like he is yelling at Santa.




Blowing kisses to Santa from afar.




As I'm blogging, Ryder is standing here waving and blowing kisses to Santa.  HAHAHA

BFD Winter Party!

Why would the balloon guy have flesh colored balloons?




Caden watching Santa drive in on the firetruck!




Not captured on this picture, but he was SOOOO excited with Santa walked in.




Loved how all of the little nuggets followed him to his seat.




I didn't even have to tell Caden, he knew exactly what to do.  Just sat right down in front.  This Santa was pretty awesome.



And when he called Caden's name.  He JUMPED up!  It was really cool to see him do all of this on his own!!



Oh man, the Angry Birds game.  By far his most favorite thing this Christmas.  Hahahahaha

Ryder's 1st Birthday Party

We celebrated Ryder's first birthday with a snowman theme.




The kids made sock snowman








Ryder with his girl, Abby          And with his pal, Ryan



Love the toddlers sneaking veggies & chips.  Too cute!



My mom made his cake.  So awesome!  The birthday boy with is snowman mug.



He'll hate me later for this, but he had to wear the snowman hat.  haha   Grandma made him a special egg-free cake for his Smash Cake.








Big bro helped out with the candle



I think he liked the cake.











Aunt Gail going in for a bite.
