Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Happy Fat Tuesday, everyone!

We did indeed have our Mardi Gras celebration last weekend. Unfortunately, Dave was called in EARLY Saturday morning so we had to wait until Sunday. That was ok, though, because Tay and I had some time to stock up on decorations. We got Dave this cute tie but he wouldn't wear it (Mr. Crankypants emerged after working 48 hours in 4 days...can't say I blame him for that one, though.) so Prissy wore it instead.


We got these cute hats too...Bo wasn't too crazy about his but we eventually got a picture.


We made my Paw Paw's chicken and sausage jambalaya and it was absolutely delicious!


We made a King Cake and it was good too.


Tay loved posing in her garb so you're being treated to several shots of us being silly on Saturday while poor Dave was working...




This one is my personal favorite!
Not sure yet what, if anything, we're giving up for Lent. In general, we've been trying to eat much healthier and exercise more which seems to finally be paying off a bit. In doing so, we've either given up or severely limited a lot of things we would partake in otherwise...you know, super fattening sweets, red meat more than once a week, a once a week soda, etc. That all takes willpower, right?
