He's Home!!!

My little brother returned home from his mission in McAllen, TX on Wednesday!

We made lots of signs to welcome him home at the airport.

We were at the airport like an hour early. Didn't want to take the chance that his plane might land early.

My mom got a cute shirt made for Hudson to wear!

We had all our Texas flags ready to go!

Everyone was so Excited and couldn't wait to see him!

His plane finally landed 30 minutes late! There were 9 other Missionaries on the flight with him so that meant there were 9 other families at the airport as well. So the airport had to gate off a walkway for all the other passengers so the families wouldn't get in the way. It was kinda fun to have so many people there!

Here he comes!!! I couldn't believe that he was finally here! He looked so good and we were all so so excited!

I had been anticipating the first time that Courtney would get to meet Hudson. I didn't know how Hudson would react. He is such a shy little boy.

To my surprise Hudson did a lot better than I thought and didn't cry when Courtney held him for the first time. He was a little shy at first but now he loves his Uncle Courtney!

I am so glad I was able to come home for this exciting time! It is so fun to have everyone at home. I wish that Jeff could have made it but he couldn't miss that much school.

The whole family!

I swear he grew like 10 inches while he was gone! He is so Tall!!!!!

The whole group!

It was such a fun and exciting day! I have loved the time I have had to spend with him these last few days! I am so grateful for his decision to serve a mission and his example to me! Love you Buddy!
