the perfect fourth birthday...

balloons. presents. homemade birthday banners. family. streamers.

& your very own playmate to spend the whole day with...

mimi came for hudson's birthday & what a treat it was.  we all celebrated @ breakfast (presents & balloons!), & lunch (cake!), & played with all of his toys outside that afternoon, but in between he had the gift of having mimi all to himself all day.  they colored, drew pictures, played music, had tic tac toe tournaments (X vs O, M vs H, K vs C, & on & on...), & read books for hours.  it was a little guy's dream.

{if you're wondering how many more posts i'm going to devote to hudson's birthday, i agree - it's been alot!  ha!  but still haven't posted pics of his party, yet...  interestingly enough i've had quite a few lessons that have come in his birthday season, like the one from this post - that all kiddos REALLY want, & this above candy, stuff, presents, tv, whatever... is time.  time with those who love them.  this because the time IS the love.
& thanks for the lesson, mom :) }
