Evan was really excited to give Dad his presents. While Hudson took a nap yesterday, Evan and I headed ALL THE WAY across town to do a little shopping! The joke around here is that I don't venture past Clovis Ave. For those of you who don't understand what that means, Clovis Ave. is only about two miles away from my house. But pretty much everything I need on a daily basis can be done on this side of Clovis Ave. To go shopping for Eric's gifts, I had to go to Fresno! I had to go to Blackstone Ave. Ewwww!
Hudson says, "Give me some love." Or it might have been the other way around with Eric begging Hudson for a kiss. Crazy little kid was crawling all around the table.
We got Eric a red shirt, a black shirt, and some tools. I was very proud of Evan for not spilling the beans about the gifts. Little man is finally learning how to keep a secret! (And yes Evan and Eric have matching OLPH shirts on!)
Hudson was really into the icing. I had a hard time keeping his sticky little fingers from digging into the cake all evening. In case you can't read it, the candles are placed in the shape of a "41."
The three men in my life. What a crew! Some of my favorite moments in life are seeing Eric hold his boys. It brings me to tears any time I see the boys snuggle in close to their dad. Okay, I don't exactly shed the tears, but I do get watery!
