Christina Anstead enjoyed a relaxing day with her children on Monday, September 23, after a fun-filled weekend that included a big birthday party for her daughter Taylor. The Flip or Flop star posted a couple of Instagram Stories from their “basic Monday” that included a makeup-free snap of her cuddling with her newborn son Hudson.

Christina, 36, shared a precious moment of Taylor, 9, bottle-feeding Hudson while they watched cartoons.
Her son Brayden and dog Cashie all cozied up for the adorable moment. Cashie appeared to be in a great mood after he had a devastating back injury last month
