The Russo's

Our friend Brittany has a Jeep and entered in the Jingle Jeepin Parade in Port Allen on December 2nd. She asked us to ride with her. We helped decorate and then rolled out around 5:30 pm. Josh, Gianna and I rode with her.   There were a lot of Jeeps entered  Hudson's boss won 1st place for best decorated with her Olaf theme  I hopped out (Hudson got in) when we were by the church so I could could go to the ladies' Christmas party. It was at Jessi's house. We played some games and did an ornament exchange. The Russo Christmas was at Anna's house this year on December 9th. The kids did a white elephant game and then the adults played one too. Aunt Janie was asking them questions about their great grandparents and family for prizes We took pictures while we were together It was so funny trying to take a group photo, but that is expected at the Russo gatherings!  We had Christmas early this year because Jen and Todd came in town the week before. We had dinner at our...

Gianna wanted to see Austin French in concert and he was opening for Danny Gokey on November 4th at Family Church in Lafayette. My mom has always wanted to see Danny Gokey in concert, so I asked her to come. We found good seats in the front  middle area. Natalie Layne was first, followed by Austin French  Danny came on around 8:15pm and he preached the word and had an altar call. It was a very good concert!  Gianna really enjoyed her first concert! She bought a shirt as a souvenir  We watched the Veteran's Day parade on the 5th  They lose arrows in the yard when shooting their bows. Josh was digging holes all over and finding little trinkets.   We went to watch Gianna in her level class for watch day. Josh always tries to say the French words for the moves and Gianna laughs at him  Took pictures with the fall backdrop at church on the 19th Josh started feeling bad that day. He had a fever low fever on Monday and started feeling achy and congested....

The boys planted some seeds in tubs at the 4H meeting We had to go to Metairie to Carmel's Dance Wear for Gianna to get pointe shoes. She tried on over 10 pairs to find the best one.  She picked out a pair and was very excited about it. We (the parents) were not as excited about how much they cost.  The men went to the Band of Brother's conference in Biloxi from October 12-14th Jennifer brought the boys to BREC's catfish rodeo since the guys were at the conference. Both boys caught big fish. They caught 7 fish between them. And won raffle prizes Hudson won for biggest fish We went to Laplace for a tailgate with Little Gypsy  They had a fry truck with loaded french fries. It was very good!  Cadie's baby shower was on October 21st at Nana's house It was a very cute wilderness theme Cadie got a lot of goodies to get ready for the baby I sat with Aunt Janie and Anna  We are excited to meet baby Cason!  Watch day for the Ballet 3 and pointe class was on October ...
