The Russo's

I introduced Hudson to an advent calendar this year. He looked forward to opening a window (or several) each day and I read the scripture to him. We did the annual Christmas caroling with church. Hudson and Grace rode on the trailer this year and had a lot of fun. Gianna enjoyed a nap on the ride. It was Gianna's first Christmas. Hudson helped her open some of her gifts. She got a lot of cute clothes and some toys for the coming months. She wanted the paper so bad and got mad when we took it away. Sitting in her new chair from Nana Ang & Papa Christmas morning was fun for Hudson this year. He can open the presents pretty good and gets excited about them. He loves his train table. He has been spending so much time playing with it! Hudson serenading Gianna with his new guitar from Nana & Papa. We do Christmas with both families on Christmas day. My family came to our house that night. My brother came in town as a surprise! the guys in grey A few pictures from lunch at the Rus...

Gianna and I went to Huntsville over the weekend to meet my niece, Jetta. She was 2 weeks on Thursday. We flew along with Jamie and my dad. Gianna did great on her first plane rides and the rest of the trip too. We had a good time hanging out and did some shopping too. On the plane going to Alabama Paw Paw and Jetta Nash and Gianna watching tv together The younger three of the six grandchildren. Gianna seems so big compared to little Jetta. Double sweetness in the double stroller Family Pictures We did some family pictures to update our photos since Gianna is now here. It was very cold and windy for the outside pics, but the kids did pretty well.

It took a couple of days, but we finally got our house decorated for Christmas. I wasn't really motivated at first, but I do enjoy this time of year. Hudson is very excited about all of it this year! Picked out a tree at Lowe's in a hurry because it was very cold. You can see Gianna's face peeking out while she was bundled up. Here Hudson is putting on his ornament he picked out last year. This is the only one that he is allowed to touch. He takes it off and on all the time. I am going to start letting the kids pick out an ornament every year to add to the tree. His favorite part is the inflatable things and lights. We already replaced an inflatable penguin because he was punching on it. He loves going out to plug in the lights when it gets dark. We went to the Reflections of the Seasons in Port Allen when our worship team sang Christmas carols. After, we rode in the horse drawn wagon to look at the lights.
