Happy Halloween/My 28th Birthday

On October 31st, I turned 28 years old! Spending the day with my little man made me feel especially blessed this year. :) I started off the day by getting Hudson dressed and torturing him with my daily photo shoot. ;)

Then we walked down to Starbucks to meet up with Lindsay for breakfast (I brought my own packet of oatmeal from home). As I was walking home my dad called and asked if Hudson and I wanted to come to Oma's for lunch. I quickly changed and fed Hudson then we raced down to Oma's house. Oma's birthday is on Halloween too, so it was nice to celebrate together. It also made me happy that she and Opa got to spend a little time with Hudson. :) (While I was holding Hudson, my hair fell over his head and my dad insisted and getting a photo of Hudson with hair..hehe).

While at Oma and Opa's, I noticed a photo of Justin in a pumpkin on the wall. Justin was about 7 months old in the photo and Hudson was about 2 months in his, but I still think Hudson looks a lot like Justin, especially when he smiles.

After the quick birthday celebration at Oma's, I raced back home to meet Rachelle for lunch. She brought me a CPK salad (one of the few restaurant meals I can eat). It is actually really delicious and it was great to see Rachelle. She gave me the most beautiful bowl for the kitchen and she had the best time with Hudson. 

That night I opened up my present from Nic and Hudson. I teared up when I saw my first ever "Mom" card. Hudson really is the best gift! My actual gift was the next best thing though, one of my favorite photos of my favorite little guy. :)

After I opened my presents we got dressed up in our Halloween costumes. 

We did a little photo shoot and video in the backyard before heading over to Tim and Lindsay's house.

I almost forgot, Tyler came over to spend Halloween with us. :)

We go over to the Mirkovich's house to celebrate Halloween every year. Lindsay always makes delicious chili and cornbread and we get to see the girls dressed up in their costumes. This year, Tim even dressed up! He was Honey Boo Boo. It is always fun to spend time with them and it was really nice that Tyler and Hudson could join in the festivities this year. After dinner at the Mirkovich's, the kids went out trick-or-treating and we came home to get Hudson to bed and pass out candy to trick-or-treaters. It was a jam-packed day, but a wonderful Halloween and 28th Birthday!!
