Happy Birthday Hudson!!


We had a fun day celebrating Hudson today! He turned 2! Ava and Cooper loved making him birthday banners, cards and buying him gifts out of their own money! As we lit the candles and sang he wasn't sure quite what to make of it all. We did a second take on blowing out the candles since he learned from the first time around that you should blow:)
One of the birthday traditions here is to where the birthday hat! Hudson wasn't that fond of it but we did get to snap a few pictures especially when distracting him with chocolate cake!




Matt and I have had several conversations over these last few days about Hudson's birth family and oh how their hearts must ache to know how he is, where he is, what he looks like, if he is happy, if he has siblings and more.How their hearts must ache with love for him from a distance. We pray for them as a part of our family in a unique way that today they would have a sense that Hudson is incredibly loved and celebrated today and will be forever.


We really tried to get a good family photo....but today wasn't our day...will you look at each child's expression? This was the best we could get...it really doesn't depict the fun that was had and the celebration of our sweet little 2 year old today!!!
