The Russo's

Leilynn graduated from Baton Rouge High on May 18, 2022. The ceremony was at the Pete Maravich Center They had a limited amount of tickets, so the Josh and the kids did not go.  It's hard to believe she is old enough to graduate high school! She graduated with honors and is going to LSU in the fall. Her party was on the following Saturday. Jamie asked Josh to cook pastalaya. That was our gift to her.  This is their relationship in a picture :)  We are proud of the young lady she has become!

Jennifer hosted Cadie's bridal shower at our house Grace and Gianna were so glad they could be there  I was given the task to make charcuterie cups. I was happy with how they turned out.  It was a beautiful shower and a great day celebrating Cadie

Josh and the kids took me to lunch on Saturday to Duke's Seafood and got a coffee after.  They had a Mother's Day breakfast at church on Sunday morning. The men and children cooked and served. Josh was on the grill cooking eggs.  Hudson fixing drinks Kaden serving plates It was very good food and a nice morning We had lunch at our house with my Mom and Jamie Then Josh boiled crawfish for his mom at our house that evening The kids did their annual "parade"  It was a good day with our kids, mothers and sisters! I am very blessed to have Hudson and Gianna. Motherhood is the hardest job, yet it is all worth it! 

 We boiled crawfish at Nana & Papa's Jules came over one day when she was out for the Easter break. She "did school" for a little while with the kids.  We took a walk  She was probably bothering Hudson 😆 Her and Gianna did chalk art  Gianna took her dance picture for the recital program  We did a Mommy & Me cookie class on April 30th at the library  It was nice to spend time with my girl Decorating cookies is hard, but Gianna did a great job! They looked pretty professional. 

 Hudson wanted to go to the Tabasco factory on Avery Island the year Covid hit, so we did it this year. We went the day after his birthday. It was a beautiful day, but it did warm up by the afternoon. We did the walking tour to all the stops It starts with the greenhouse of pepper plants This is the barrels used These barrels are aging and it was an awful smell We got to see the factory and assembly line  This is everyone who came with us  We ate lunch in the restaurant on site. All food the was good. The Jungle Gardens tour was included in the admission.  We had Grace and Gianna in our car. We drove through and got out to look at things.  Bird City was so neat. It was a nesting area for egrets.  Hudson and Kaden where in the other vehicle Hudson got close to an alligator We stopped in the gift shop after the tour.  It was a fun day celebrating our new teenager!!
