Mardi Gras has come and gone, but the photos have not yet been posted. We had fun talking about, preparing for, and enjoying the day. 

Granny and Grampy sent us an authentic King Cake which we decorated ourselves with the colored sugar, icing, and slivered almonds provided in the box. We shared our King Cake later that day with some of the kids in Baby Group. It blew my mind that not even the grown-ups had heard of a King Cake. But we all enjoyed it. 

The next evening we had our neighbors over for dinner and the rest of the King Cake, and Anna got the baby!
