Mardi Gras 2017

I think it's safe to say we have a couple of Mardi Gras fans on our hands; me included! I never really knew just how much I loved Mardi Gras - from the crowd to the music - until I experienced my first Mardi Gras event. Now don't get me wrong, I have certainly had my fair share of King Cake; I've even 'got the baby.' :)

We decided to venture out to the local Mardi Gras parade/event a few weekends ago, and, man, did we have fun! My girlfriend and her boyfriend and my in-laws met us up there, we ate, walked around, danced, checked out the vendors/shops, drank a few margaritas, and danced some more. My little guy, who had one heck of a bead collection, was tearing up the stage to the the awesome Zydeco music. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, either.

We even walked away with the cutest shirt - gotta have love for our local small shops!

See ya next year, Mardi Gras! 

Oh TWOdooles

We recently celebrated a very special boy's second birthday! Waking up to a balloon-filled crib, breakfast served with two candles in a giant cinnamon roll, being sung to all day long, and a Mickey Mouse party with family - he was certainly loved on and celebrated all day long.

His absolute favorite is Mickey Mouse. Every morning when he wakes up, he has to have his cup of milk and a Mickey episode. Every. Single. Morning. The kid loves Mickey. So, there was really no question when it came to his party's theme. From the cookie sprinkles to the wrapping paper, this kid got Mickey everything.

This was the best picture we could get of us three together - and it think it sums up his birthday perfectly!

Happy 2nd birthday, buddy!!
