Mardi Gras!

This his year I decided it would be fun to throw a Mardi Gras party. Ever since my first visit to New Orleans (which was on Fat Tuesday 5 years ago) I have loved the culture, food and traditions of the south. So I thought, what a better way to liven up February that with a Mardi Gras party? Also, I thought it would be a fun way to introduce a less known holiday to those of us this side of the Mississippi.

I enlisted Libby Dibb’s help in organizing everything, and she was crazy amazing! She baked 3 King Cakes, helped me decorate and helped me manage a needy toddler and party festivities.

We had a few games such as, Who am I? (a name game), Dance Central on the Kinect and even Mardi Gras Jeopardy.

I was thrilled that so many fun people were able to make it out and liven up a lesser known holiday! Thanks to everyone that came, brought awesome food and helped out in general!
