Our firstborn son turned four over the weekend!  Yesterday morning we woke up to a winter wonderland, and he was so excited when I casually observed that it looked like about four inches of snow had fallen.

“Four??  I’m four, too, Mama!”

He’d been anticipating this birthday for months, after it was mentioned that we could have a Spiderman theme.  Hudson enjoys all the typical boy things — race cars, toy guns, mega blocks — but one of his favorites is the superhero.

We celebrated at the eccentric Fargo’s Pizza.  The food isn’t exactly stellar, but the restaurant/arcade is a perfect location for a kiddo birthday party.  Most importantly, Hudson LOVED every minute of it!

I can’t explain how this little man delights my mama heart.  He has a gentle, gracious spirit that always makes me smile, and his goofiness makes me laugh.  When Eric is out of the house, Hudson often reminds me, “Mama, I will protect you because I have strong arms and good eye sight.”

We are truly thankful to the Lord for the blessing of this sweet boy.  Happy birthday, Hudson Bear!
