Ole' So Sweet

John and I left for New Orleans on New Years Eve. 

We found out we are getting older...

Evidence #1:  We almost finished the entire Serial podcast during the drive.  

We stayed in the Garden District and had dinner reservations early that night at Lilette.  

It was such a cute little restaurant. 

Dinner was at 5:30 (Evidence #2). 

Man, it is a tad hard to read a French menu!  

We ended up taking the trolley down to Bourbon.  We each had a drink, watched some of the Alabama game, and then headed back.  I could not keep my eyes open until midnight... we were asleep by 11:30.  This will be Evidence #3.  

We woke up at the crack of dawn like normal (Evidence #4).  We piddled as long as we could, drank a couple of cups of coffee, and then decided it was time to grab some beignets.  Our game wasn't until 7:30 that night so we had allllll day to do whatever.  

Cafe Du Monde had the longest line, so we decided to grab them to go and sit in Jackson Square to eat.  This entire area (really anywhere near Bourbon) is very interesting at 10:30am.  All the drunks are gone but the homeless people and every other weird person is out...

We walked around, wondered if if all the odd stuff we saw was actually real life, and then decided to find a restaurant to have a Bloody Mary. 

We actually did end up having a great day.  We nursed those drinks until the normal people came out. Then we walked to several bars with tons of Ole Miss and Oklahoma State fans.  We even ran into a few people we knew.  

We may be getting older but we still love spending time together.  

Mom sent me this cute blurry picture of the boys in their Ole Miss gear ready to cheer on the Rebs.  

Superdome. 

(It was cold so we had to double up on vests and jackets.)

We were able to buy tickets from one of my bunco friends and our seats were amazing.  

It had been a loooooong time since we played in the Sugar Bowl. 

 46 years to be exact. 

And it was so much fun.  

We beat them pretty good, so everyone was happy happy happy.  

We are so glad we were able to go and have that memory.  What a weekend!

We got home Saturday.  John's parents had gotten the boys Marvel Universe Live tickets for Christmas.  John had to work Sunday afternoon, so Judy and I took them.

To say they were excited would be an understatement!

New Years on Beale!!!!!  ha 

Thanks Grandma Judy!

The show itself was actually pretty awesome.  

The souvenirs were super expensive but oh so worth it. 

And you got this cool hat with the purchase of popcorn.  

There's that.

Monday I got a phone call from Brody's school.  Apparently one of his little friends threw a small car toy at him and he wouldn't stop bleeding.  It was the tiniest cut but went rather deep so off to the doctor he and Mickey Mouse went.  All it took was a little bit of glue and NO tears.  The doctors said they had never had a kid be so calm during that procedure.  

It got cold this week.  

My Special Day was on Wednesday.
Crab legs are a must on January 6th.  Always.  

She is THE BEST!
