Halloween

This Halloween was very mellow. Rather than stick around our boring neighborhood Mike, Cora, and I decided to spend the holiday with two generations of The Hudson Family. Theron & Christina have a wonderful and most adorable little dude named Breckin who is exactly 7 months older than Cora. Here is a great shot of Christina and Breckin out trick-or-treating. A little background story.....Breckin was supposed to be a little garden gnome, but decided he didn't like the idea. When Christina placed the garden gnome hat on his head she said he had a utter meltdown. Plan B....a cow. He made such a cute little cow too. He just recently learned to walk and watching him navigate the walkways of the houses was really cute.

Cora wore the costume featured in the last post. She was so stinking cute!

After visiting a couple of houses we headed back to Theron & Christina's where Theron's parents, Kevin & Angie, were waiting to take some photos of all of us. Below is a photo of Theron, Christina, & Breckin.

Next it was our turn. Can I just ask.....why is it both Mike and Theron can't make a decent face in the photos? Argh! Mike has the weirdest look on his face. Anyway, I guess you take what you can get.

At least Cora knows how to pose for a cute photo.

After pictures it was time for dinner. Thank you Kevin for making the most delicious gumbo I have ever had. Later in the evening Angie, Christina, and I took the kids into the living room and let them play with the remaining candy they had for the trick-or-treaters. Cora and Breckin thought it was great!

They shared so nicely. Breckin loved pulling all the candy out of the bowl and then putting it back in the bowl.

Cora was just happy to chew on the wrappers of the candy. Poor girl, hopefully someday she will break a tooth.

Thank you so much to the Hudson Crew for hosting us and making us feel like part of the family. Being away from our family can be really tough, especially around the holidays so it is always nice when we are able to spend time with great friends who can double as family.
