Happy Mardi Gras! (2 days late)

Posted on 14:43 by Roger
Better late than never, right?  We were just too busy partying it up to stop and do a blog post.  And by partying it up, I mean that we were out enjoying being outside in this gorgeous 70 degree weather.

But we did celebrate Mardi Gras properly with our first ever "Mardi Gras Bombing" compliments of our amazing friends in Alabama.  In Alabama (as well as Louisiana), they shut down school and business for a whole week to celebrate.  That is my kind of place.

Anyways, as you can see by the evidence, we received the best box of Mardi Gras loot that a 2 year old could ever hope for.





She spent hours examining and trying on each of her "jewels".  She was so engrossed in her jewels that she completely missed the moon pie at the bottom of the box.  Don't worry... her daddy quickly found it.  Go figure.

Ever person (and stuffed animal) who comes to our house has been adorned with "jewels" to match their outfit.  My little girl is a giver.  Love that.  Though we did have to have a conversation about how Wrigley the dog does not like jewels and therefore we should not try to make her wear them.  Dogs do not appreciate Mardi Gras like we do.  That is a difficult life lesson to explain.

So thank you so much to Amanda, Bee Jay, Walker, and Katie Abby for making us feel so special.  We LOVE getting Mardi Gras bombed!
