Nonna's Visit

On the afternoon of Sunday, February 10th, Nonna flew in to visit us for the week. We got to the NOLA airport fairly early to pick her up and the boys were getting frustrated :) We were very excited when she finally arrived. At first Jacob was quiet and shy but it didn't take him long to become the chatty child that we know and love. Despite eating before we left Baton Rouge, we were all starving so we headed to the Waffle House. I don't care what other's say but I like their food. I think Nonna enjoyed it, or maybe she was so hungry that she would have eaten anything :)

 

For the first 24 hours Jacob couldn't leave Nonna alone. It wasn't that he wouldn't, but he was so excited and happy that she was there so he couldn't contain himself. Hugging her, asking her a million questions, and telling her all about everything.

 

Jacob had three days off from school for Mardi Gras break so he was able to spend lots of time with his grandma. Some of the fun things we did while Nonna was here included: waiting for it to stop raining and warm up, shooting taxidermy at Bass Pro Shop, Build-a-Bear and train and carousel rides at the very crowded mall, playing at home with Dylan, eating at BJ's, IHOP, Gino's, Jasmine's on the Bayou, and Emeril's NOLA Restaurant. Jacob went back to school for Valentine's Day so that gave us all a little break :) On Friday, he took the day off school so that we could all say goodbye to Nonna at the airport. It was a fun, memorable visit!
