Regional Science Fair

Congratulations to Haley! She earned a third place medal at the Regional Science Fair for her project "Stop Pulling My Hair!"

Lundi Gras

What's better than calling for beads at a Mardi Gras parade? THROWING beads in a parade! The girls had a great time participating in the Children's Walking Parade. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and we had a great crowd lining the streets. The girls worked hard getting ready for the big day. They fit right in with the theme of "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles." Jenna designed and build her own train float and Haley crafted herself a Hippie Bus to "drive" down the street. There was a free lunch on the town green and awards for best costumes and floats. What a happy surprise that Haley took home a trophy!

Jenna's "Train Today!" float carried a few of her stuffed animals.


Haley's "Hippie Bus" won 2nd place in the 9-12 year old's Custome Contest.

'Twas the Night Before (MS) Christmas

It's Christmas Eve in Mississippi. How do we know? Well, the reindeer food has been sprinkled on the lawn, the stocking are hung by the chimney with care, and cookies and milk await Santa. It's worked in the past; will it work again this year? Only time will tell...


A special family night out...dinner at the Beau Rivage.


Magic reindeer food sparkles on the lawn to shows the way.


Santa's favorites, and Haley and Jenna's, too...Aunt Eva's butter drop cookies with milk.

Polar Express and Holiday Tea

Haley and Jenna invited friends over for a girls-only Christmas party. They made the invitation and planned the activities. There were snacks, games, crafts, and even photos with "Santa."

Christmas on the Water

A lighted boat parade, fireworks, playing in the sand, and a bonfire with GIANT marshmallows...how can we not love Christmas on the Gulf?
