The Russo's

Camo got fixed on February 12th. He did fine with the surgery. He was just drooling a lot! He layed down most of the afternoon, but by that night he was back to normal.   He was licking his wound, so they suggested putting a onesie on him. Gianna had some girl ones for her dolls that we put on him.  Hudson didn't like that he was wearing pink, so I went in the attic and found him some boy onsies. He didn't mind wearing them, but it was a pain unsnapping them every time he went out. We went to Bass Pro one Saturday and they had a fishing workshop for kids  They practiced their casting  Gianna colored a bag  A little Valentine's surprise for when the kids woke up  Mom took Jen and I for pedicures and lunch at a ramen place for an early birthday treat. It was a really nice day together.  Josh and I went to Ruth Chris for our 14th anniversary and had coffee after. The time seems to pass by fast, but I love our ti...

We went on a field trip to the Knock Knock Museum in December   Mrs. Peggy from church had discount tickets for us and came along.  They had a great time. I'm glad Hudson was still in to it because I think he is starting to grow out of some of the kid activities.  Gianna entered the cookie contest for 4-H again this year  We made snowmen out of nutter butters and white bark. Hudson helped decorate them.  She won the most unique award  Hudson missed a few days of school to go hunting with Papa, but he didn't kill anything this season We learned about the Louisiana Purchase in history and colored maps   We did rainbows in Bible with each topic that we studied so far  They both finished the first semester with good grades. They each picked out a prize, but not what is pictured :) 

Started off with the Christmas story reading   Camo was their early Christmas present, so the morning was low key. They got a few small gifts like lego sets and I Tunes gift cards.  Camo opened his dog toy, but just wanted the paper   We went to Nana & Papa's for lunch. Grace and Jennifer stayed home because Grace was sick.   That night we went to Nana B's house. The kids finally got to play the Saran ball game! Opening gifts   Dillon and Dax were here for a week  Aunt Donna and family came later for dinner  We also played the Saran ball game. It was huge this year! Played some reindeer games  Camo was there in all the chaos   Mom hid our money in different items and we had to open it up to find it  It was a fun night making memories with our family   We did Christmas with my Dad at our house the next afternoon ...
