Star Students!

We celebrated not one but TWO star students this week!
We are so proud of them and the good choices that they make!

Also cousin Spencer was star student as well!







Field Trip- Gulfport, MS

Aaron went on a field trip to visit the Institute for Marine
Mammals Studies in Gulfport, Mississippi. Sadly I was not
able to attend but friends sent me a few pictures of his day.







Avery Losses a Tooth!

Avery has thoroughly enjoyed her Christmas gift of season
tickets for the LSU gymnastics meet. We have gone to 3

come with us!

Sneaux Day #2

Much to our surprise we had another snow episode! This
time we got around 2 inches but it was down right freezing at
15 degrees. It was much to cold for us to play in it like we
did last time. The streets also were covered in ice so most
all of Zachary and Baton Rouge were trapped at home. We have
loved seeing it snow in Louisiana but we are all ready for some
warmer springs temps!

Happy New Year!

We did fireworks with our friends on New Years Eve.




Trip to Alexandria

The kids and I spent our last few school free days visiting
Uncle Jake and Aunt Chasity in Alexandria. We played with
Bradey and Jackson, had breakfast at Harlow's, visited momma's
friends Ms. Ashley and Ms. Dana, made sugar cookies, and
froze because the temperature was a chilly 15 degrees!! BRRR











Ice Wine Opening

Ten years ago Bub Bub brought this bottle of ice wine
back from Nova Scotia. We have been saving it for the perfect
time to open it since her passing. We decided that Andrew's
10 year journey to become a CPA was a pretty good reason
to break it open. Cheers to you mom!







Christmas in Lafayette

The day after Christmas we traveled to Lafayette to have
Christmas with the Pop Pop and JuJu. Sadly our cousins
couldn't be there and we missed them. Here are a few photos
of the Christmas fun.

















Aaron Loves Legos

This is what Aaron did for 7 hours Christmas Day... only
stopping to eat lunch.





BEST GIFT EVER!

We had an extra extra special gift this Christmas. After
4.5 years of studying he finally finished all 4 parts of the
CPA exam. We are all overjoyed to have this behind us
and for Andrew to be able to be back at home with us!
No More Studying! Andrew G Gaines CPA!!!!!

Christmas Morning 2017

The kids were up at 6:30am and ran to the living room to
see what they got. We spent a lovely day at home with
daddy recovering from the flu.
