Hudson & Adley's (Neighbor) Hood Life: Happy New Year

Angela here! Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! It's been a whirlwind at the Kemp's. We celebrated the holidays and then as everyone was headed back to work, the flu destroyed us all. Literally. Both Chris and I called into work on Friday. Everyone was bed ridden for at least a day. And it all started with my dear sweet boy. My innocent Huddy almost killed off his family. It began with smelly diapers and more projectile vomiting all New Years Day. He didn't even want to eat...which was when I knew something had to be wrong. The only upside was that he sleep 10 hours through the night. Regardless, his sickness spread through the house like wildfire. It first got Chris, then me and Lolly and lastly Pop. It even struck Aunt Shannon and cousin Anderson. Everyone is better and well now. I feel though some family members are still holding a grudge against my sweet sweet boy. Below are pictures of Christmas, pre-sickness....

Cousin Anderson and Hudson playing together.

We had a second Christmas in Cleveland with the Wilson's where Huddy got to spend some more time with cousin Hannah and cousin Nate. Hannah loves her little cousin and his "little chubby cheeks."

Cousin Nate is six months older than Hudson. Both their first Christmas and they just so happened to have matching outfits. Poor Nate could only sit still for a few pictures, then he was off rolling.....

Hannah made her "Mr. Uncle Chris" a coffee mug an even personalized it with his name. Uncle Chris is her favorite uncle. He teaches her knock-knock jokes and can even list all the My Little Ponies. He has currently been instructed to start memorizing all the Flutterbye fairies per Miss Hannah.

Lastly, we spent today celebrating cousin Anderson's 2nd birthday. It's not till the 12th, but tomorrow Anderson becomes a big brother and life will get crazy for the Bockelman's. This was his last day as an only child. We can't wait to meet Miss Claire Elizabeth tomorrow!
