A little more birthday fun...

~~A Little More Birthday Fun~~~

The kids and I recently went to Oklah*ma to visit my family and since it was right before Hudson's birthday we celebrated with them.  

On Hudson's birthday every year, we are going to set off Chin*se Lanterns.  Since he turned two this year, we set off two lanterns to float away into the wild blue yonder.

I have to give credit to where credit is due...I didn't come up with this awesome idea by myself.  I'm not that good.  Ha Ha (I'm good at stealing good ideas.)  The idea came from my sweet friend Rachelle.  She's the awesome momma to the very sweet and adorable Miss Megan.  They were in our travel group to Ch*na.  Here's a pic from when they stopped by a couple months after we all had returned home.  I love getting pictures of her and watching her grow just as much as Hudson. 

Lanterns are lit and we are getting ready for lift off.

Everyone was very excited.  Anytime there is fire involved the level of anticipation is heightened. 

Yay...up up and away!!

Everyone is watching them fly away.

There they go...floating up to the stars. 

We all sang Happy Birthday to Hudson as they floated away.

And ~bam~ were done and he's off. 

What a great time this little guy had being with his cousins.  He couldn't wait to get back to the fun and craziness.
