Jetta had a Christmas pajama party and sleepover. It was a very cute themed party. 
I made a snowman out of cheese balls 



They made ornaments and a snow globe


 We didn't get much sleep, but everyone had fun

 One Night in Bethlehem in Hammond. This was a new production we haven't been to before. They had live animals to pet.

It was so cold and we were not prepared! 
We got to sign the census 
They had a very authentic looking market with booths 

At least they had fires to warm up while waiting for our tour 



A few of the scenes along the tour. They did a great job and it was one of the best live nativitys we have seen. 





Shadrack 's Christmas Wonderland in Gonzales. This was a 2 mile drive thru light display. We went in two cars and all the kids were with us.

 It was very cool. They had the lights set to music.










 Gianna wanted to make a cake to enter a cake contest for her Christmas dance recital. We combined a few ideas from Pinterest. She wanted a manger with baby Jesus. 
 We made everything out of edible materials except the star






 Entering her cake in the contest. We did not win, but it was fun working on the cake together. 


Her class had two dances and a finale. It was very hard to see her from where we were sitting. 





So proud of our little dancer! 

The Russo Christmas was on December 16th


 This little cocker spaniel puppy was the highlight of the day. It showed up at Sarah's house and they brought it with them. Gianna liked it so much! 



The kids had a Christmas program at church on Sunday December 17th. Gianna played the part of Mary. 

Grace played the angel 










Hudson was King herod. He had a speaking part. 




They sang a few songs at the end 





It was very cute and everyone did a great job!! We are so proud of our kids for singing and speaking  in front of a crowd.

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.

I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
