A great week with family!

Hudson loved hanging out with KK and Briley :)

Finding Nemo

As little H is currently obsessed with Finding Nemo, he got a fish tank for Christmas from Santa. Here is a pic :)

Winter Park :)

We are up spending the holidays in Winter Park! It is relaxing and I have spent more than a few hours in the hot tub with a nice glass of wine :) We rented a house and it has been amazing! We had an old-fashioned Christmas eve that included a real Christmas tree, with old fashioned handmade ornaments that the kids made, great Italian food and lots of family! I think with kids the holidays just get to be more fun with each passing year. Hudson had a great Christmas, got lots of toys and enjoyed seeing all of the relatives in town. My parents also did a fantastic job hosting. Gifts for Hudson this year included a fantastic train set from Grandma and Grandpa, a play tent with matching sleeping bag from Ellie-Bubbie and Poppie, a real Woody doll who even says "There is a snake in my boot" and a real fish tank of his own with three fish: Nemo, Dory, and Squirt. He is IN LOVE with Nemo right now. :)

Enjoy the pics!

Under the weather..literally

Following our crazy subzero temps, the Albano family has been a little under the weather. We are working hard to keep it together, with a little help from our friends at Vicks, Celestial Seasonings and Robitussin. Hope you are all well!

New Shutters

We have been doing some home improvements lately. Here are some pics of some of our new shutters :)

I can't believe you are 18 months Hudson!

Hudson was 18 months old yesterday! I am one shocked momma that the time has flown sooo fast. Hudson is all around the place, running from one end of the house to the other. He repeats every word you say all of the sudden, and can count to five! He is talking so much and even has started little sentences like "Hudson Happy." His talking is really picking up. His favorite foods include olives, fruit, veggies, and popcorn. He LOVES orange juice and lemonade, being outside and anything active. He says "Woah" at every turn when something is exciting. I can't believe my little guy is sooo big. This is my favorite so far though-as he gets so excited about everything. :) We are loving life and staying busy :)

No Shave November

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

GREAT FRIENDS!!!

HOLIDAY BABY!

Things I am excited about for Hudson this holiday season!

Hudson

Baby Hudson is getting sooooo big!!! I can't even believe it. He is saying several words:

Hat

Jeans

Momma

Daddy

Outside

Woah (this one is hilarious)

Car

Truck

Duck

Dirty

He shakes his head yes and no (more no than yes)

He runs, climbs, and is very very busy. I can't wait for the holiday season with our munchkin as just riding through Target he gets so excited to see the Christmas lights on the Christmas aisle. I think he might love Christmas as much as Mommy and Daddy.

I luv my mummy.
