Mardi Gras

We started Mardi Gras by going to Mass and wearing our beads.  The kids shared them with various people.  The paster was blessed with beads from Adorable.  After Mass we headed to breakfast at Chick Fit A and to our delight Fr. Preston walked in.  He had just visited STAOP.  


We then got a King Cake, because you have to.
Later that night we headed out for ice cream.  The older girls were able to join us.

After eating ice cream we stood around a chatted while the younger ones climbed the poles.


We are all giving Lent our all this year.
mom and Beautiful

Happy Mardi Gras!  May your lent bring you closer to HIM!

Yummy Love the Cake Boss



So we didn't make it to the grand opening but with Lent coming fast we decided to spend a little time waiting to try these delicious treats.







We made our purchases and headed home.  Everyone sampled each others picks.


It was a delicious way to spend the afternoon.

Brake a leg, Bear is Acting!


We could not all go but Bear's sisters would not miss this for the world.  They got off work, switched schedules, and drove and drove.  They arrive in time to watch the play and then left to return home just before sunrise.  This was quit a trip.  The girls were so very proud of their brother.  



The girls were so excited to see their brother's picture outside the theater.  


The girls snuck a picture during the play.  They were so proud.  
Way to go Bear!

Confirmation Food Drive



I am so proud of these Confirmation kids.  Again, I don't have one this year but the red shirt belongs to my Pickle.  The other kids headed out of town to visit with Bear while he stayed back to help with this huge Confirmation project.
