2 Years Old

Hudson turned 2 years old on November 8 this year. It is so amazing how fast he has grown. I hate to say it, but...I remember when he was just a baby. Well kind of. The past 2 years has taken a toll on my memory and I definately don't remember the things that I thought I would. I thought for sure I would remember every little thing that has happened. Man, was I wrong. However, I did remember to throw him a birthday party. We had family over for dinner, pin the tale on the donkey and some yummy Shrek cake. We had a Shrek themed party and I had tons of fun making the cake. It's a good thing I have a kid so I have an excuse to get my creative juices going so I can make a cool cake. Shrek isn't exactly like the movie character but I think he's pretty close. Here's the picture that I went off of.

And the cut out begins to take shape.

And the end product. Not exactly the same, but not bad for NEVER making anything like this before.

Mr. Sam Stalsberg
Trevor trying to find Donkey after Grant moved it to the other door and higher up. He was pretty off.
Hudson got cars, trucks, tractors, and more cars that night and from all different sizes. Grant and I got him a power wheels truck which all the kids went crazy over. It is so hard not to spoil the kid on his birthday. We just love this kid so much.

One happy boy.

When everyone gathered around to sing to him, Hudson got so shy. He bowed his head and wouldn't look at anyone. It was so funny, but I couldn't get a good picture. This one was the best even though Grant isn't looking at him. The others were of Grant holding Hudsons head up. It was pretty funny.
