New Orleans!

Craig and his brother Ryan had a orthodontic meeting in New Orleans this last week. I was able to go along and so was Ryan's fiance Brittany. Everything was planned and paid for us, and we were treated like royalty! We ate at the nicest restaurants I have ever been to in my life! I know I had to gain at least 5 lbs....we ate so much! We saw some of the devastation of hurricane Katrina, it still looks like it could have happened last week, so sad! Bourbon street was an eye full...its worse than Vegas! Also it is the most dangerous city in America and has more murders and theft then anywhere else. SCARY! While Craig and Ryan were in meetings Brittany and I caught a cab and went off exploring on our own (not very smart)! We thought we were safe because it was mid day, but we were wrong, lots of scary things!!! Over all it was a great trip and we had a blast!

Big money on Bourbon street!
Look at that crab leg!

I love all the street performers!
This magic guy was awesome! We had to tip him!

Thanksgiving!


Craig and I were able to spend Thanksgiving in New Mexico with his family. All of his siblings were there together and it was such a great time! We had a beautiful meal with lots of food, conversation and love!

We LOVE games and a Young family favorite is "Scumbucket"! Every time we get together we play this! Goofy but I love it!


I have pictures from our fun white elephant exchange.... but I can't upload them so maybe I will try later!
