We celebrated Mardi Gras this weekend at our house. Had an early Fat Tuesday celebration before Lent starts. We made a King Cake for the celebration. Neither of us had ever had King cake much less made one before. The tradition is to hide a baby or coin in the cake and whover finds it in their piece has a year good luck. We ended up hiding a coin in the cake which Kenzie found so she has the year of good luck and gets to host the next party. We ordered Pat O'Brien glasses for everyone and the famous Hurricane mix from Pat O'Brien's.
Our cake is the circle, we ended up buying one as well which is the one in the container. We wanted a back up just in case our homeade did not turn out very well but it turned out to be acutally the better one.
Kara made some delish gumbo and Amy made hushpuppies. We had a very festive dinner and lots of fun!
Mike made Amy a t-shirt to flash with for beads which was looked so real. He used air brushing to make the t-shirt. She said our faces went blank for a second when she initally showed us. Too funny!!
Erin brought the kereoke machine and everyone had fun singing!
Happy early Fat Tuesday everyone! We hope y'all have fun celebrating!! All our love, G and J
