Mardi Gras

My church had a Mardi Gras celebration tonight for the kids, but parents and children alike got to learn many facts behind this celebration because they very nicely displayed the origins of the games the children played at all the booths. They also served food for the occasion, such as King's Cake. In Laredo, we eat this cake on Three Kings Day. You can learn more about the origins of Mardi Gras and it's Catholic background here.

On another note, Elena used the potty today for the first time!!! I had to record this milestone somewhere. Good job Elena!!
