We have adopted the Louisiana tradition of going to see the fires on the Mississippi river levy each Christmas Eve. The legend is that lightining fires on the levy will help Santa find the children. It is basically a bunch of piros and drunk people lighting huge fires but it has become tradition. Mainly we go to visit at our friend's home who live a block from the levy and have yummy jambalaya.
Mishonne and Logan love to roll down the huge hill going up to the levy. In the back is one of the teepee type fires. There are probably 50 to 100 of these fires up and down the Mississippi River.

This year Jill, loren's sister came and
so we got to take her. She agreed it is an interesting phenomenon to witness.
Here is Jill and Haley, Jill's new best friend, on the levy.

Glad to see you came around! You weren't a believer when we first took you however many years ago . . .
We really missed it this year. Just didn't seem like Christmas Eve.
The kids look so cute, and I can tell they really enjoyed having her there:)
