Madeline - Winter in NOLA


Not as cold as it should be!

Ornaments on the tree!

Lights outside on the houses in Uptown, Lakeview, and Metairie!

All about the avenue!

Will it ever snow??

Invitations to Christmas in the Oaks and winter balls!

Now, how about them tigas and Saints?

Tinsel wrapping the presents under the tree!

Evening out to get the Christmas tree in the cold.

Running out of school after our last day of exams!

Madeline, age 15
