A birthday weekend!

For her 15th birthday, Kaela wanted to do something special so she invited two girlfriends to spend the weekend with her.  Dean kicked things off Saturday morning by making chocolate chip waffles for breakfast... and then we all went into New Orleans for the afternoon.

For an early dinner, we went to her favorite restaurant, Superior Grill......it was as amazing as always but since I was driving I skipped my usual margarita (safety first y'all!)

And then we walked around the French Quarter, letting the girls run into the shops along the way.

We worked our way through the Quarter and ran into this guy...who posed with the girls.   

Needing sustenance, we had some beignets at Cafe Du Monde which made the girls happy!

Then we walked around some more to make sure we hadn't missed out on anything...

We got home around 9 pm and then she opened gifts...and had MORE sugar!

After all that sugar and excitement, they changed into pjs and played the Wii for awhile before crashing for the night.....

I can't believe the baby in the family is 15!!!!
