Twelfth Night...Mardi Gras Season Begins!

#1 Postby CajunMama » Fri Jan 06, 2006 5:23 pm

Mardi Gras season officially kicks off today and I'm going to the first ball of the season tonight....Krewe de Carnivale en Rio. I get to put on my fancy ball clothes and wear the dreaded high heels! I plan on resting my feet the rest of the weekend! Ciao!!!!!

Laissez les bon temps roulez!!

I work this weekend, so I won't get to really celebrate until next week's festivities, but that's when the best parades are held.

It rained and rained and rained and rained all day today but did it rain on our parade? NO!!!!!! I was impressed with the crowds that showed up. I'm exhausted and cold...as silly as it seems it is hard work throwing beads for 2 hours!!!!! But i'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!!

Bre...how was the ball?
