The Russo's

 Christmas was very different this year since Josh had Covid. We missed Christmas caroling, Christmas program, a party and our family plans. My side of the family cancelled all of the gatherings. Since Josh's family already had corona in October they were able to take our kids.  On Christmas Eve, we were at the ER and they were opening presents. They tried to wait for us, but I said it was fine to go ahead and open gifts. The kids needed something good to take their mind off of Josh. They sent us pictures. Maw Ella gave them gift cards Model car from Cadie Ballerina doll from Cadie  iPhone from Nana & Papa. Gianna was so excited!  The kids came home that night. Christmas morning Josh was able to watch them open their gifts and went right back to bed Gianna got a laptop and star stable Hudson got an accubow and mini bike  Camo had some toys too  Jennifer picked them up to go back for lunch on Christmas Day The guys were able to put Hudson's bike together...

We decorated around the house for Christmas on December 1 Josh and Hudson put some lights on the house the next day. Josh likes it to be cold when putting up lights.  Josh and I were going on a lunch date on December 4th. Right before we left Port Allen at the red light, a man said water was pouring from my Yukon. The radiator was cracked. We pulled in the Auto Zone parking lot and waited for a tow truck to come. Josh bought a new radiator and fixed it later that day. We still were able to go to lunch.  Gianna had trouble with the eye chart at her well check with the pediatrician. She recommended that she see an eye doctor for an exam. She got a slight prescription for glasses for near sided.  We went and picked out some glasses. She was totally fine with getting glasses. It's not that she needs them all the time, but she thinks it's cool to wear them.  Entergy had a dinner in Metairie for the employees on December 10th. We decided to stay overnight since it would be...

We did an early Thanksgiving with my family because Mom and Doug were going to visit Dillon the next week. Jennifer and her family couldn't come for Thanksgiving.  The night before Thanksgiving, the kids did crafts at Nana and Papa's house.  We went back for lunch on Thanksgiving Day. Carl joined us for lunch this year  Josh carving up the turkey  Glad we were able to celebrate together on this day. We have so much to be thankful for!
