Christmas in Mandeville










We celebrated Christmas in Mandeville with Pop, Ya-ya and Allie last weekend. Zack was studying hard for finals (first semester in college!) and wasn't able to join us. We had lots of fun. Ya-ya made gumbo and red beans and rice (my favorite!) Friday night. And Saturday night we ate at a delicious seafood restaurant. As we arrived, the sun was setting and Lake Pontchartrain looked beautiful. Isabella talked about that sunset for days! Ione and Isabella both ate a ton of crab meat. Isabella's favorite was the marinated crab claws that came in Ya-ya's seafood martini. Ione referred the Pop's lump crab meat. Both girls got wonderful gifts. Isabella got a faux fur princess wrap and an infrared remote control princess car! It's the coolest remote control car ever! Ione got an adorable frog prince bank, and Elmo Live. She LOVES Elmo!! So, needless to say she was ecstatic about her gifts too.
