Mardi Gras..... Georgia Style!

In Louisiana everyone gets excited about Mardi Gras! There's king cake, colorful parades& costumes, beads,chasing chickens (yes chickens & it's quite fun) and just another excuse to "Let the Good Times Roll." This year we were especially excited for Mardi Gras because that meant Matthew's family all had vacation (South Louisiana basically shuts down for 3 days!) and were coming to Georgia to Camp D! It seems the times when all of Matthew's siblings, parents, and spouses schedules align is becoming fewer are farther between, so we have been looking forword to this weekend for a long time.

The weather was mostly cold and rainy but it gave great reason to stay in pj's, play games, watch home videos, and eat all of the delicious food Dee Dee prepared. Mary Stewart was very much in her element with all of her aunts and uncles adoring all over her! It truly was such a sweet time.

There were no parades or beads, there was a king cake that got devoured very quickly, but I'd have to say this was definitely one of my sweeter Mardi Gras!

I thought she had Dee Dee wrapped, I was wrong....She has Papa tied around her finger!!!

I love this picture of Nathan
