December was such a crazy time for the Hudson's. We were so blessed having my parents able to come visit for almost two weeks in the middle of December then blessed again with Derek's mom and maw maw able to come over Christmas for almost a week. Santa even brought the girls a puppy right before Christmas...with Aunt Erin, Momma Pat, and MiMis' help.....yes, I know we are crazy but I just didn't think we were busy enough and I felt we needed to add to the family.
Derek and my dad were able to get so much done during their visit. They built shelves in our shed out in the back yard and now we have more storage to store more of our crap :) I dad even motivated Derek into starting to build our privancy fence. The two of them almost killed each other during the 3 days they worked on the fence but the made it through :) Derek was able to finish the fence all by himself this past week. It looks amazing and he did an terrific job and I am so proud of my "handy hudson". Between Derek, my dad and myself, we were able to paint Larissa's room to a beautiful pastel yellow and decorated the room with princess'. She was so excited and shocked at the same time.
My mom was such a terrific help during this time too. She helped me so such with watching the kids and playing with them when I couldn't. I was able to finally catch up on some much needed housework and rest. I don't know what we do with our moms....they really are some amazing women.
Once my folks departed we had less than 48 hours to prepare for the much anticipated visit with Mi Mi and Maw Maw a.k.a. Derek's mom and grandmother. We were so tickled they decided to actually come and visit with us up here in NC over the biggest holiday of the year. We were really blessed and felt really special that they decided to make this trip. Mi Mi and Maw Maw usually don't travel away from FL for the Christmas holiday. We had a blast and the girls really enjoyed the time the got to spend with their grandparents. Mi Mi is such an amazing help when she comes to visit. She spends so much time with the girls and I am able to actually sit down and breath when she visits with us. The girls just love being able to attack them and give them tons of hugs and kisses.
We all had such a wonderful holiday this year. We really made out being able to spend it with four of the most important people in our lives. Thank you for being with us this holiday season.

Sounds like a busy & really fun month! You should post some pictures of Larissa's room. I would love to see it.
