Happy Mardi Gras!

We had a nice/busy Mardi Gras week. Saturday, Avery was in Luling with our parents, so Josh went down there to be with her while I worked. He was going to take her to the Luling parade, but it was awful weather and the parade got cancelled. I was off work Sunday, so we took her to the Des Allemands parade. She was so cute, waving to the floats and racking up on beads and stuffed animals. Monday, Josh and I both had work, so Avery stayed at my mom's. Tuesday morning we went out to Metairie to catch the Mardi Gras day parades. We had a great group with us including Josh's parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins. As well as some of our friends from the northshore. There was lots of food, kids and fun. The day was beautiful and the kids had a blast. Avery loved the Clydesdale horses and drums. She caught a stuffed Barney and that has been her favorite toy all week! This Saturday there is a dog parade at the lakefront, I think Avery would love that. So we will try to make it to that one tomorrow too. Happy Mardi Gras!
