In between Christmas and New Year's, we headed to St Louis for a few days to see Pa, Dana, and Evan and Lyndi who were visiting there for a few days.
The boys got spoiled again with another Christmas celebration! They got stuffed animals with a box of candy which was right up their alley, especially Jack. Pa also bought the family a Wii system. Hudson was so excited. He had never played one before but within a few hours figured it out pretty well.
We had some amazing weather so we headed to the St Louis Zoo one day.
Jack had been asking all day to see the elephants and this was the look on his face when he saw there was a baby elephant. He was so excited and kept pointing out the mommy, daddy and baby elephant. He would have watched them all day if we let him.
We had dinner with Dana and the boys loved the new hat she "borrowed".
Hudson got a lot of tips on Mario from Evan, his new "best friend" as he says.
We also spent a morning at the Magic House. Hudson loved the electricity room and kept trying to show Jack how to connect everything.
Playing banker....
and doctor.
Hudson was really into caring for the babies in the nursery.

Helping Pa build a real fire.
After dinner we took a horse drawn carriage ride down Main Street in St Charles. The boys loved it although Hudson was very concerned about how we were going to get back to our car!

| On New Year's Day we all went to see the new Muppet Movie. We were shocked we made it through the whole thing although a large popcorn helped a bit! |
