Mardi Gras Weekend

This was the amazing Willy Wonka Table! Everyone loved our table - mostly toward the end of the night when they needed a snack.
I won the money hat after finding the Baby Jesus in the cupcake, a Mardi Gras tradition called King Cakes. It helped since Matt got stuck buying a cardboard stand up of John Wayne for $225 - retail price....$50. Matt loves live auctions and just can't leave one without something.

Colin enjoyed wearing the Mardi Gras hat on Sunday. The Elmo shirt has been a favorite for Colin. He wore it all day on Saturday and then found it in the dirty laundry in his room on Sunday morning. He brought it out and insisted on putting it on. I have to find a special place for this shirt because he also looks through his shirt drawer for it.
When we went to church on Sunday night we realized how much news we watch when Colin pointed to the American Flag and said "OBAMA" not great to hear for his republican parents - oh and it wasn't just once, he said it about 4 times until we were able to distract him.
