Mardi Gras is parades, beads, king cake, music and fun! This year it was fun to enjoy it with the girls, they loved getting all the beads and stuffed animals at the parades! Their daddy always gets very excited at parades, he wants to get as much stuff as possible, you should see him jumping up and down at every float that goes by, yelling at them to throw him the best biggest beads, or stuffed animals for his girls.
Mardi Gras, c'est les parades, les colliers de perles, le gateau du roi, la musique et le plaisir! C'etait tres l'fun cette annee d'en profiter avec les filles, elles ont beaucoup aime recevoir tous pleins de colliers et de toutous aux parades! Leur pere est toujours tres excite aux parades, il veut avoir le plus de choses possible. Vous devriez le voir, il saute devant chaque char allegorique, en leur criant de lui lancer les plus beaux et plus gros colliers, et les toutous pour ses filles.

We went out on a real date, to a Mardi Gras cajun dance! We used to love going to
these dances once or twice a month before having the girls. It was great to be out,
and have fun on the dance floor, and listen to some nice live cajun music! |

I made some whole wheat King Cake for the first time ever.
It's a popular cake eaten before Mardi Gras.
The girls really liked the icing on top. ;) |
