The Eli Young Band family just got bigger!

Bass player Jon Jones and his wife Sarah welcomed their son Hudson Lennon Jones on Monday, December 31 at 1:30 p.m. They were even home in time to celebrate the arrival of 2013 that night.

Jon and Sarah released a statement to People, "We are ecstatic about this beautiful baby boy that came into our world. Words cannot describe our excitement and joy."

The remaining members of Eli Young Band performed without Jon for just the second time in the group's history on New Year's Eve. That allowed Jon to be home with his new bundle of joy, and he says, "They are truly great friends for letting Sarah and I share this wonderful experience together."

Yay for Jon and Sarah!  Welcome little Hudson. :)
