HAPPY MARDI GRAS

This is my first year since I've been in college to spend my Mardi Gras break at home.  Every other year I have enjoyed celebrating in New Orleans, but I decided this year I'd take a break and head up to North Alabama.  It's funny though because of course my family celebrates this holiday but today was just a regular Tuesday for everyone else here.  Before college I didn't even realize how big of a deal Mardi Gras was or even how it was celebrated.  All I knew was that it involved beads and king cake.  This year I even brought home a praline pecan and a cream cheese king cake as well as some other little goodies :)

Here are a few pictures from our own little Mardi Gras celebration here at the Moody house
Mom made some delicious gumbo!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mardi Gras!!  Now I just need to decide what I should give up for lent.  What are you going to give up??
