Back in February a couple of us got together to throw one our dear friend Leslie a Mardi Gras Birthday Party, complete with a parade. I mean you can't have Mardi Gras without a parade right? Nothing like seeing a bunch of grown adults (sober mind you) and kids and a dog riding on a trailer decked out in Mardi Colors down a country road far from the Mardi Gras celebrations going on in Mobile and New Orleans. It was so much fun. The invitations went out in style. We filled a balloon with Mardi Gras confetti, an invitation and a set of beads to bring for a door prize (A Mardi Gras pimp cup lol). We filled my house with purple, gold and green balloons and streamers. We filled goodie bags for each family with things they would need for the night. We gave them masks, beads, moon pies. coins and candy. We set a parade table with horns and glow sticks. We had a taco buffet for dinner. The night was amazing!!
