Mardi Gras

We had our annual Mardi Gras celebration, missing some old friends and welcoming some new! It's become a really fun tradition.

The kids obligingly congregated under the table, and decided who would get the next piece of cake.

The baby was found

and a new queen crowned!

Though everyone enjoyed the cake.

And the play time, afterwards!

Fortunately, this year's queen was pretty benevolent, and she managed to set up a very democratic kingdom, complete with Mayor, Vice Mayor, and assorted town counsel men and women.

Allons, les enfants!
