Christmas 2024

 The Russo Christmas was at Uncle Mike's house. We had gumbo. The kids did a white elephant game and the adults did too.  

Our candlelight Christmas service at church on the 22nd
That night we went Christmas caroling around Port Allen
Christmas Eve at Nana & Papa's house
It was fun watching Cason open his gifts



Papa loved his Hunting Buddies shirt 
Nana had games for the kids to play
Christmas morning we read the Christmas story 
and then opened presents
Hudson got a hunting saddle and platform for his big gift
Gianna got a vanity and chair for her big gift
We had lunch at Nana & Papa's house
Hudson must have been worn out from Christmas 
Jennifer and her family came after Christmas, so we waited for them to do our Christmas together. We had dinner at our house with Daddy on the 27th. He made his famous shrimp stew. 
We went to brunch at The Ruby Slipper and shopped a little
We had Christmas with Mom at Jamie's house on the 28th. The kids did a gift card exchange where you had to do challenges if you wanted to steal. 
Opening gifts
We took some group pictures
We did smores one night
Gianna spent the night and went ice skating with Jetta. So glad we got to Christmas with them even a little late. 
Mom and I worked Up in Smoke on New Year's Eve

They were in all four showcases that weekend.  Tap - "Shake" Jazz - "Take it All Back"  Pointe- "O The Blood"  Ballet Intense - "My America" Ballet - "Flowers"  Hip Hop Gianna celebrated her 10th year with DDA and had a special tribute during the recital.  This is proof that Hudson went  So proud of Gianna for her hard work. She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

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.

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