Gianna's 6th Birthday

We celebrated a few weeks early at Nana B's house because she was going out of town around her birthday. Hudson was sick so Josh stayed home with him.

On the morning of her birthday, Josh got donuts and left them for when she got up. (August 18, 2017)

She wanted to go to the mall and ride these animals. They had never done it before and really liked it.

Some of the family came to eat lunch in the food court

I took her to Build a Bear and she picked this purple kitty and named her Violet.

I love my G girl and am so proud of her! She is a great mix of sweet, chatty, and funny.She likes going places with me and I love that she wants to spend time with me. Some of her favorite things:

Color: teal

Foods: Chinese, strawberries, oranges

Show: Spirit

Game: Minecraft

Animal: horses

We did a slumber party at our house that night with her girl cousins. She wanted a flamingo themed fondue party.

Hudson gave her his present before he left. He was so excited to give her a pink BB gun! He picked it out weeks ahead of time. I believe he likes it more than her.

All the girls ready for some chocolate fondue. We had fruit, sweets and some salty things to dip in the chocolate.

They watched the live action Cinderella and had popcorn before bed time. Everyone slept in the living room except for Gianna, who ended up in my bed.

She wanted Josh to cook her jambalaya for dinner and have cookie cake with family.

It was a busy birthday weekend, but very fun. She said it was the best birthday!! 💗

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances. Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young. We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas. My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk. I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch. We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville. The food was really good.
