For my Cousins

This post is for all of my Russell cousins out there. As usual we had our Russell family Christmas Eve Party this year. In the middle of our annual White Elephant gift exchange game my cousin Tess showed up. Well it turns out that Tess is sporting an interesting new do (a combination mohawk and mullet)...and lets just say that Grandma was not a fan. Here are some pictures of her reaction: The best part of the story involves Grandma's recent memory struggles. While it is really sad that she is having such a hard time with her short-term memory, in this case it was pretty funny. See, Grandma forgot about Tess' hair every 5 minutes or so and we got to relive her reaction to Tess' hair-do over and over again. "Who is that??? That's Tess??? What happened to her hair???" Over and over again! Dont you wish you all could have been there? Maybe this will serve as an incentive for all of you to come next year...its always a good time!

Thanksgiving in Texas

For Thanksgiving this year, we traveled to San Antonio to visit Gus' sister and her family. Gus' parents came with us and we had a great time. Jackson did great on the plane and loved looking out the window .

We visited the Alamo (Gus is in the green shirt).

The Riverwalk Gus' sister practically lives across the street from Sea World. While we enjoyed Shamu's show, Jackson took a little snooze.Feeding the dolphins.
