We celebrated Mardi Gras in Shreveport with family, and we had a blast. It was fun to show the boys a little Louisiana heritage. Aunt Emily bought them Mardi Gras shirts and masks, and their dad purchased glowing swords/wands.
Once the parade arrived, it was party time. Ryland and I staked out a spot on the front row, and we started yelling for beads. Reed and John Chris stayed a few steps behind, and Reed enjoyed a spot on Dad's shoulders.
We had so much fun and want to come back next year. Thanks to Aunt Emily and Uncle Jeffery for letting us stay with them and showing us a great time!
