Hudson joined our Bert’s Big Adventure family when he was just 5 years old, and now we’re celebrating his 9th birthday!

💜 Our good friends at @southernbelleprincessparties made his birthday extra special, bringing Woody and Buzz to life for a little dancing, lots of smiles, and a much-needed break from the hospital routine. There’s nothing quite like dancing along to “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” with some of your favorite characters! Hudson has spent so much of this past year in the hospital, with only about a month at home. Through it all, his courage and resilience continue to amaze us. It melts our hearts that Woody and Buzz could celebrate the incredible kiddo he is and give him a moment to simply be a kid on his birthday. His mom, Nichole, said it best: “This year, you’ve fought battles that would bring any mama to her knees. We’ve spent months in hospital rooms, prayed through some of the scariest moments of our lives, and celebrated victories that most people might never understand. And now, here we are, celebrating NINE YEARS of YOU. Your smiles, your laughter, your favorite movies, your love for football, your sweet little personality, and those precious moments when you reach for me and remind me that all the hard days are worth it.” Happy 9th Birthday, Hudson! 💜 Your Bert’s Big Adventure family loves you so very much!
