On 12/13 Yancey and I will be celebrating 3 years! WOO HOO! God has blessed us and our wedding vows. We decided to take a little trip to New Orleans for a night. This was our first night away from lil miss Niley. She was greatly missed but we had a great time. Yancey surprised me and made reservations at the beautiful Roosevelt Hotel. We are members of Hilton Honors and we had enough points for a free night, which is normally $219, so join those hotel reward programs, they really do pay off!! The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas and there were little girls everywhere dressed in their pretty little Christmas dresses, so of course I asked what was going on. Well, each year the Roosevelt does a "Teddy Tea with Santa" for little girls to dress up and have a party. I heard from a friend this was loads of fun, so next year if you are looking for a fun girls day check into this. This hotel was also featured this month in Southern Living magazine. New Orleans was very pretty all decorated for Christmas. We did a little shopping at Lakeside mall and a little "looking" at the Shops on Canal. We enjoyed a light lunch at Mulate's, one of my favorite cajun restaurants. We also rode the trolly to the French Market, which doesn't seem near as exciting as when I was a child. We enjoyed charboiled oysters that evening at Drago's and of course, who can leave New Orleans without Cafe du monde beignets?! So it is a good thing we did ALOT of walking in N.O. to keep up with all the eating we did!
Below are some pictures from the past week and our travels.
Only 12 days until Christmas!
Brady and Conner tripped me out on the carousel and yes I made them sit in Santa's lap!
Niley was pooped after visiting with Santa!
HAPPY 3 YEARS!
