Happy Monday! These are some pictures from our Sunday morning and afternoon when we went down to New Orleans for Beau's niece, Caroline's christening. First, we all went to Mass, and immediately after was the Baptism. The church, St. Francis Xavier, was absolutely beautiful and the ceremony was so wonderful and intimate (as you can see in the pictures above).
Afterwards, all 50 (light exaggeration) of us went to eat at Mandina's on St. Charles. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to snap any pics of my turtle soup or messy-but-delicious-as-hell roast beef poboy OR Beau's sweet Italian sausage poboy...because I was too busy stuffing my face. If you haven't been to Mendina's then GO!!
As always, we had such a great time with Beau's families. We love them all and are so blessed to be part of such wonderful people. BTW - how cute is Isabel (above)?!
Laurel, Beau's very pregnant (yet somehow still thin and as always beautiful) sister hosted Isabel's party at La Petite Tea Room in Metairie, LA and it was so cute! If you have a young daughter, I cannot recommend this place enough. The girls seemed like they had the time of their lived dressing up as their favorite princess, dancing to fun music, decorating their own picture frame, walking in a "fairy princess" fashion show, as (of course) having tea (apple juice) and cake!
