Starting with a BANG!

After we left the beach we went to NOLA to stay with the Byars.  We got to spend New Year's with them and stay in their new home.  On New Year's Eve we went into the city to get some breakfast.  Beignets from Cafe du Monde?  Yes please!  Morgan does not remember her last trip to NOLA so it was all brand new.  When we walked by Jackson Square Morgan asked if Princess Tiana was home.  Gotta love that Disney!  I told her that Tiana didn't live here exactly but we were going to eat some of her beignets.  Morgan loved them!  But let's be honest, what's not to love!  After getting to meet baby Helena and seeing Holly and Brad's new home, we went back to the house to cheer on our Bulldogs.  Hail State!  We were ready to ring in the New Year after watching our Bulldogs win big in the Liberty Bowl against Rice.  (And yes, it did pain me a bit to cheer against the owls.  Why couldn't they be something else?) 
 
Freddie and Paige came in to celebrate with us too!  In Mitch and Kristin's neighborhood they shoot off fireworks all night.  I thought, "Ok, they picked up some sparklers and little things."  I was wrong.  Dead wrong.  These fools bought the professional stuff!  It was a better show than what I saw for the 4th of July this year!  And they were set off right in front of the house!  How these kids slept through all that racket I'll never know.  But it was awesome!  We had so much fun and finished our trip with a Radke New Year's while we watched football the next day.  It's always fun to spend time with our crew!
