Ella and Jo-Jo...BFF

I don't even know where to start with these two! Born a week and a half apart, but living on opposite coasts. So this was the first time these two little munchkins got to meet. They were mistaken for sisters, twins, you name it! And boy are they adorable. I know they will be so excited to see each other again at Thanksgiving.

Two peas in a pod. Thelma and Louise. I could go on and on... But I'll let the pictures do the talking :)

Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler! (Cont...)

Apparently the number of pictures I post has overwhelmed even Blogspot, so we are finishing up the New Orleans post with post #2...

A jazz band led us down Bourbon Street to the reception. It was like a movie! Ella was in awe.

The Nanas with the babes.

Ella and Jo-Jo dancing the night away. Ella danced and danced, and everytime the music stopped, she asked for "more-more music!"

Ending the night playing cards with the boys.

Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!

We just got back from NOLA, and wow - we had an amazing time! What a city. What a wedding. What a party! I think Ella will be talking about her time in The Big Easy for weeks to come!

We got to our hotel, checked in, walked out the door, and someone immediately threw Ella beads from a balcony. I promise she did nothing for them except look cute!!

Ella and Josephine were BFF from the second they met. I have to do a whole separate post just to show you the adorable pictures of the two of them.

Checking out the turtle pond at Brennan's. Then we ate turtle soup. (Shhh - don't tell Ella!)

Watching them make bananas foster at Brennan's. Mama could eat this stuff everyday!

At the aquarium with the cousins. So fun!

With Aunt Becky.

Owen and Ryan were so cute with Ella and Jo-Jo. Such sweet boys!

Look, Uncle Mark. A shark!

So, so cute.

Mommy, we are inside the aquarium!!

Bowling at the Rock n' Bowl. Ella loved it!

Ella got to help a lot of people bowl.

Yay!!

Hittin' the dance floor.

In Jackson Square with Nana. Looking for bananas...

Our baby Ella refused to stay in the picture with us. So we posed with Baby Cooper!

Showing off her cute buns :)

Very serious in front of the cathedral at Jackson Square.

Thowing pennies in the fountain.

Bathing beauties.

Total goofball.

Beads, beads, beads.

Ready for the wedding!

The peanut gallery.

Uncle Brent.

Lookin' good Cooper family! Yeah Ben!

The seriously elegant bride! Just gorgeous - and so fun! Congrats Jackie!

Just a sneak peak of the "Ella and Jo-Jo" post that will be up next!

The street car that we took from the ceremony to the reception. So so fun!

The bride and groom, ready to lead the parade down Bourbon street to the reception.
