My First Mardi Gras

OK...JJ & I have made a decision, and we wanted to let everyone know about it now so there is plenty of planning time. Next year for Mardi Gras, we are going to have a crawfish boil and celebrate the season properly. So, put it on your calendars now!

The idea for this came about because I finally went to my first Mardi Gras parade last Sunday, but it was the family parade. It was a nice introduction for me though, and JJ & I had fun catching beads. Amber, I am mailing some to Kaycee for her dress up stuff! And the rest we are donating to our church youth group!

Cupcake Snack

I don't think James has ever had an entire cupcake all to himself before today. He loved it, as you can see!

Watching Sesame Street

I am not sure why, but this is how James now likes to watch t.v. He pulls the cushions over and lays on them on his stomach. Such a goober!

Our Busy Weekend!

James' new jammies.
I didn't know Super Man wore rain boots-did you?!


****I apologize now for any miss spellings. Remember, I too am from Texas. Not an original Swamp Donkey! ****
We have had a great weekend! We had our good friend Matt visiting from Houston, Tori & Baby Audrey visiting from Dallas, and Aunt Moozer & Uncle Cord from Kerrville! And we still have Jimmy coming in this evening! This was Misti's first visit to Louisiana, so we had to cram in as much Cajun & Creole as we could! This is the list of what she tried for the first time...Crawfish Poboy, Muffaleta, Boiled Crawfish, Red Beans & Rice, Dirty Rice, Cajun Catfish, King Cake, Crawfish Etouffee,  & Drive thru Daiquiris. Surprise, surprise, she left here with a stomach ache this morning! We had bought some boudane for her to try, but we forgot to cook it-they took it home so she could try it later. We also went to the casino one night so she could play the slot machines and a little black jack. She definitely had beginner's luck because she did better than any of us. 


Playing dominoes for Mommy...again with the boots!
