The Russo's

 My birthday was on a Sunday this year. Josh got me a coffee from CC's for when I got to church.  Gianna wrote me these sweet notes  We went to hibachi for lunch with most of our family Just Josh and I went to dinner at Sammy's that night. Our anniversary was three days later, so we celebrated early.  Jen was coming in town the next weekend to celebrate our birthday. Mom and I picked her up from the airport. We got coffee on the way home.  On Saturday, we had brunch at the Ruby Slipper and got pedicures after.  Gianna came with me and got her nails and toes painted Mom had a family dinner at her house that night with shrimp etouffee and king cake. We went by to see Granny on Sunday and visited outside. It was a full weekend, but very fun! 

We were expecting freezing rain and maybe wintry mix on Monday, February 15, 2021. We woke up to a layer of frozen ice.  Hudson was the first to go out and play. Josh was able to work from home. Parts of the interstate were closed and then the bridge closed the next day.  It was a struggle for Camo to use the bathroom. The ground crunched as we walked. He eventually was able to go.  The kids enjoyed breaking up all the ice off the trampoline.  Gianna froze water for the next day. The low was 15 that night! On Tuesday. there was a light snow coming down in the morning. The tiniest snowflakes were so intricate and beautiful.  Most of the yard was melted by Wednesday morning. We didn't lose power, but many people in the area did and went without heat. 

I made candy bouquets for the kids and popcorn bucket for Josh. (Josh gave me a box of chocolate and a card) We love our little Valentines!  We had a family dinner at Nana & Papa's with games that night  Shooting Q tips like cupids arrows  Pin the lips on the lady  Drawing hearts blindfolded  They had to find conversation hearts in a cupcake without using their hands  The couples played the newlywed game by answering questions about each other. It was fun, but hard to answer some of the questions. We came in second place. Happy to be with my forever Valentine! 

Before Josh went back to work, we thought it would be good to have a fun day. On Tuesday, February 2nd we had lunch then went to Top Golf. Hudson and Josh has been once before. It was mine and Gianna's first time at Top Golf Josh was instructing us on what to do and we needed the help Hudson and Josh did pretty well  I got the hang of it towards the end  Hudson was excited about getting these macaroni bites again It was a nice day together!
