Happy Birthday Elizabeth

Last Friday we celebrated Elizabeth's 10
birthday with a trip to the LSU gymnastics
meet. It was really fun to see them beat
the Georgia Bulldogs and the girls had
a great time. The boys were good sports!

Aaron's First Camp and Duck Hunting Trip

Aaron had a blast at the camp with Pop Pop while we
were in Alexandria. Pop Pop took him duck hunting,
he shot his first shot gun, and he learned to drive the
4 wheeler. He had a blast and can't wait to go back!

Road Trip to Alexandria

We had an entire 2 weeks off after Christmas so our
last week I decided to take a road trip to visit Uncle
Jake in Alexandria. Pop Pop met us there to take Aaron
on his first hunting trip as well.

Happy New Year!

We celebrated New Year's Eve at Aunt Hollie and 

Uncle Tim's house. Aunt Hollie had some great photo

props for selfies! Goodbye 2016- Hello 2017- may this

be the year we add CPA to Andrew's name!

Gaines Family Trip to New Orleans

We took a day trip to New Orleans to visit the aquarium
and eat beignets at Cafe de Monde. Sadly one family
was not able to go due to hand, foot and mouth disease.
We were so sad we were not all together.

Gaines Family Christmas

This is the first time in 2 years that all the
Gaines family has been in one place at the
same time. We had lots of fun with our
cousins in town. They played games and put
on a play of the Christmas story. I started a
new tradition of playing the saran wrap game.
Leah and Christopher were the winners so it
is their duty to make the ball to play next
time we are together.  It was so nice to be
able to spend time together and we were all
sad when it was time to say goodbye.
