Hudson Turns 6!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better party today. The crisp Fall weather turned warm and Spring-like for the day. The kids all came ready to play and have lots of fun and my birthday boy was all smiles!

He chose a Halloween themed party this year. Originally, we had toyed with the idea that the kids could come dressed up but in the end we decided that playing games in costumes wasn't the best idea PLUS we didn't want to add any added stress to the moms that hadn't yet had a chance to get costumes for their kids 2 weeks before Halloween. In the end we played games and had a blast.

We had a couple of scavenger hunts in the yard where we hid 11 pieces of 2 different colored skeletons and the teams had to work together to assemble them the fastest to win.

 

The winners!!!

I was so very proud of Hudson this year. Instead of getting any presents this year, he asked that all of his friends take what money they might have spent on him and instead give him money so he can donate it to our local swimming pool that is currently undergoing major reconstruction. He did not for a minute, complain or even miss the fun new toys and was pretty proud himself to tell people what he wanted for his birthday. You are the best buddy!

Hudson, you are the most caring little "old man" that I know. You are constantly thinking of other and would never intentionally hurt anyone's feelings. You can have a slight temper at times but it is usually short-lived and due to lack of sleep (somewhat like your mom :) ). I cannot get over how quickly you are growing up!
You are so very loved!!!
