HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HUDSON!

as i may have mentioned,

our huddy buddy turned 8 last month.

for his birthday breakfast,

he got an "8" pancake

(oh my, his mom is so creative...

a pure genius).

for his requested birthday cake,

he got white on white,

with blue and red frosting.

and for his partay,

he wanted to spend it in spokane

with his family and cousins.

now that is cool,

i have to say.

so we took the trek

to the can

(we call it that affectionately,

i can assure you).

his grandparents

and aunts

and uncles

and cousins

all came to help him celebrate.

 we snuggled this guy,

our little elias. 

oh, and what do you know?

here he is again.

such a sweet, sweet little guy.

we got to hang with this guy,

our cutie patootie camden.

and we played with this guy,

our goofy goofster ezra.

also per hudson's request,

we celebrated with donuts.

incidentally,

it was national donut day the previous day.

hudson is totally in tune with the universe.

totally in tune.

it was a whirlwind trip,

but totally worth it.

it made this guy super happy.
