The Russo's

Dillon wanted to take the family out for a fun night as his Christmas gifts to everyone. We ate at Elsie's Plate & Pie for dinner. Everyone went to bowl at Red Stick Social. He and the big girls have a tradition of going to the escape room every year. He invited the younger kids this year. They had fun! New Year's Eve: I was working at the firework stand for the day shift, so I joined the kids and Josh at his parent's house.  The kids popped fireworks

Opening presents on Christmas morning  They both got a Ninetendo Switch Then we took them outside to get some big gifts that I couldn't wrap  Gym bar for Sissy A trough for Hudson's fish and crawfish  They were very happy with their gifts. Then went back to playing their instruments.                                        Went to lunch at Nana & Papa's  Josh carving the turkey I made crème Brule for the first time. Josh rigged up a torch for us to do the top. We went to my mom's house that evening. Jen and Dillon were in town, so we took some pictures.  We opened presents before Aunt Donna's family arrives.  We surprised the kids with their own Saran wrap ball this year to play Someone suggested an ugly sweater theme for the night The adults played the Saran wrap ball game and exchanged gift cards.  We had my Dad over on the 27th, but this was the on...

We went to Aunt Dawn's for lunch on Christmas Eve. Dillon and Jen were in town this year.  Christmas Eve night at Nana & Papa's to open presents The kids were really into Monopoly this year Hudson got electric drums Gianna got a keyboard Landon asked the guys to be in the wedding  Christmas was back to normal this year after our covid year!!  When we got home, the kids immediately put their instruments together and tried them out 

Gianna and Grace entered the cookie contest for 4H. They were the only two who had entries, but they did a great job!  Checking on the gardens for cabbage and mustard greens. His "baby" cabbage. They ended up being bitter.  They really liked pulling carrots and they were good The girls went to a baking workshop at 4H on December 20th. They made cinnamon rolls and sweet potato cakes. It was all really good.  Josh and I went to Raceland to pick up Hudson's mounted deer head. It came out so good. It's hanging in the living room for now.  We stopped at this neat store on the way back near Thibodaux
