The Russo's

Hudson woke up to some cards and a Roblox gift card  Josh left him a message too His birthday was on a Wednesday. We picked up McDonalds for a late breakfast  He wanted a smoothie in the afternoon. We were blessed that the man behind us paid for their smoothies. We invited over some friends to play that afternoon. It was such a beautiful day for it.  Josh came home early and some of the family came to sing and have cupcakes  He got a few small gifts. He was very excited about the survival shovel from Nana & Papa! Hudson chose Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.  He was happy to get his wild wings  Josh took him to Waffle House on Friday morning for his birthday breakfast  On Saturday, Josh borrowed his co-workers Porsche to surprise Hudson. He was very excited to ride in it for the weekend!  That night we had a family crawfish boil for his party A friend from church made the cutest cake!! Everything on the cake was edible.  The gnats were horr...

We went to the conference in Reserve from April 8-10th. It was the first year my Mom was able to go. I drove us down on Thursday afternoon. Josh met us in Laplace to get the kids.   Our group of ladies from Harvest Church. It was fun to spend time together and fellowship with other women.  We got coffee at PJ's and pedicures during our free time on Friday. The theme was "Going Through Your Hard Places" We heard stories of hard times, but learned how to overcome setbacks and disappointments.  All of the speakers were great including Mrs. Angie. She was the last speaker of the conference and she did awesome!  My sister Jamie came for the last two sessions. It was a nice surprise and she enjoyed it. It was a great weekend!

I couldn't fit them all in my Yukon! I had my Mom bring some in her car too.  They were very appreciative since many of the elderly can't have visitors still with Covid and the baskets would brighten their day.  My good little helpers!  We had a pancake breakfast before our Easter service this year. A guy in our church made pancakes and they had sausage also.  Hudson wanted to wear a sport coat like Josh and I actually got Gianna to wear a dress!  We went to the Russo's for lunch. The kids dyed eggs with Cadie and then we hid the eggs for them to hunt.  Hudson found the golden egg Then we headed to Nana B's for the evening where they dyed eggs again They decorated cookies with edible markers  Easter egg hunt time. Hudson found the golden egg here too!  Ended the da...
