Christmas

I know this is like a week late. This year we stayed home for Christmas. It was the first time we stayed home for Christmas since having Jack and it was very nice! Last year when we flew home to California we flew late at night and had to deal with alot of flight delays so it was nice to not have to worry about any of that! This was the first year Jack was really excited and talked about santa and enjoyed opening presents. I have noticed that since having another kid we really feel like a little family. I mean of course we have always been a family! When it was just Mike and I sometimes it seemed like it was just these 2 adults but as we have added children it feels more and more like our own little family unit. On Christmas eve Jack did some grocery shopping and ran some last minute errands since Mike was home and able to stay with Hudson. Then we came home and baked cookies and watched Christmas movies and ate dinner.
Mike goes back to work tomorrow after having all this time off from work and I am not looking forward to having to get up at 6. Plus it is tough since we are still not taking Hudson out in public so my days seem extra long because we don't go any where! When Mike is home it is nice because I can go places and we take turns doing stuff with Jack.
For Christmas we (mike and I) bought a new camera. Our old one was almost 5 years old and on its last leg. It's just a basic point and shoot but I hope to get a nicer dslr in the spring? I am keeping my fingers crossed. I just have to talk Mike into it. For some reason he will justify buying a new flat screen tv. but not a camera to document our childrens life's. HAHA that is my argument. Of course the camera is no where near the $$ as our tv was!

Oh and at Hudson't 1 month check up he weighed exactly 12 lbs. That is the 93rd percentile and is already growing out of some of his 0-3 clothing.
