The holidays feel extra special this year thanks to our little man, and while the ol’ social schedule of cocktail hours and holiday parties ain’t what it used to be, we’ve still got lots of fun Hudson-friendly activities lined up over the next few weeks.

Including our first ever Santa photo! Thankfully we found a Santa in our neighborhood that doesn’t require a mall trip, and I am extremely excited. I can’t decide whether to hope for a perfect smile out of him, or for the classic meltdown photo. Either way, it’s the start of an annual tradition until I can no longer dress him/prop him up on strangers’ laps for photos, so buckle up, bud!

Cheers, friends! Happy Friday.
