Josh was really excited for Mardi Gras even though he didn't know what it was or how to say it! We decided, though, theat Lehi Mardi Gras serves a totally different purpose and draws a totally different crowd than New Orleans Mardi Gras!
These are the wicked hott invites Manda made up for the party. Abby added people in teh windows, I'll have to find that one and post it later.
Lib and Manda showcasing the yummy Mardi Gras foods. This is really the only reason we celebrate - the food! Manda made jambalaya, Lib made red beans and rice, Ab brought LOTS of french bread and soda, and I made Nachitoches meat pies. We branched out and invited non-family this year, Jen and Dustin from next door. She's from Arkansas so we thought that was close enough (plus she makes really yummy peanut butter bars and cheesecake brownies for dessert!)
Grandma and Grandpa crawled in teh streets of Shreveport after their parade to get beads for the kids. Kate and Grace lucked out being the only girls, no one else really wanted the pink and purple ones.
Grace and Cam. I think this was Grace's Mardi Gras mask to wear for the parade. We didn't really to floats and parades this year. Did I mention we really just wanted to eat the fried southern food?
