Mardi Gras Time

We were anxious to see how Betsy reacted to seeing her first parade of the year. On Saturday Momma Lady, Grandpa, Aunt Bridget, Uncle Brian, and Charlie came in town for lunch and a parade. P made barbeque beef in the crock pot and I made a salad and we had kingcake for dessert. Charlie and Betsy played downstairs and both were not happy when we had to go back upstairs for lunch. Both of the kids ate a good lunch and Momma Lady fed B kingcake and B would run around the living room, screaming, and playing with Charlie then run back to Momma Lady for more kingcake. Grandpa pulled the kids in the wagon and although it was freezing and misting outside we all had a blast. Betsy and Charlie both stared at the bands and floats with their mouths wide open. They both got tons of beads and stuffed animals. When we got home they played with all of their stuff and B continued to play with her loot today.

Today Peter left for Seattle and he doesn't get back till Tuesday evening. B has already looked all over the house for him and she was knocking on the front door and saying "Dada, dada!" I miss him already. We went to a parade with Aunt Attie and B. At first the weather was awful, but then the sun came out and it warmed up. After the parade we went to Babies R Us to pick out things for Attie's registry. Tonight Marme came over to watch the SAG Awards--we were really ready for an awards show since The Golden Globes show was cancelled.
