The Russo's

We had another chance for a wintry mix on January 16th and that evening it started to sleet and ice was falling.  Close to dark it turned to snow and we could see flakes falling. Gianna didn't go back out that night because it was too cold. Hudson had been waiting all day on the snow and he played in it for a while.  When we woke up the next morning, there was about an inch of snow covering the yard.   The rain had frozen so the driveway was slippery. Gianna fell when she was walking to the front of the house.  The water was dripping overnight and it froze like an icicle   The roads were icy and the bridge was closed. People were told to stay off the roads if possible. Josh was home and didn't know what to do with himself. So, he went in his shop and cooked gumbo.  I let the kids off for the first snow day, but we didn't need to take off another day. I let them play out in the morning and ...

It was sooo cold for New Year's Eve, but we braved it for some fireworks.  We have been having some really cold weather. It doesn't bother Hudson too much. He dresses warm and "hunts" outside. He got his new deer cameras set up and he watches for birds. He will spend hours doing this.  They really like the pedal bikes they got  They have been enjoying their Christmas presents for inside play when it's too cold to go outside.  We did go to Area 51 during the break to jump. 

My family is not a big fan of taking pictures, but I ask them to do it once a year for me. We actually skipped last year, so we were overdue for some new ones. Thanks goes to Cadie for taking them!
