Celebration in the Oaks

With only six months or so left in New Orleans, the rush is on to do everything we have thought of doing in the two and a half years that we've lived here. Thursday night some friends joined us to check out the amazing Christmas lights in City Park. We all had a wonderful time, but the kids were especially thrilled with everything!

We visited Storyland.

Played in Alice's house...
Listened to the Cajun Night Before Christmas...

Watched the trains wind through a miniature version of New Orleans...

Met Mr. Bingle (Hunter thought he was taking a bath)...

Climbed on a fire truck...

Hannah played with the pigs...

which meant Hunter had to play with the pigs...

Considered visiting Hansel and Gretel's house but opted out...

Took a tour of the space shuttle...

Stood in awe at the abundance of lights...

and called it a night!
