Pink Deer Antlers, My Dear??

Yes, you read that right....who ever heard of a deer with pink antlers? For those of you who read our "Christmas letter blog" Kathryn was asking for some pink antlers to hang on her wall, because John Paul wanted to hang the antlers from Steve's 5 point in his room. Well, thanks to "Uncle Randy," she got her wish! Randy Mitchell works for DOTD w/Steve and when he heard about her request, he just couldn't help himself. She was ear to ear grinning when she saw them. She kept touching them saying, "they're so beautiful!" So I guess I'm just outnumbered now. I used to say "no animal products hanging around the house." But, who can say no to that

face?? Who knows, maybe next year she'll want to go hunting with Daddy in search of another "pink mama buck" as she calls them.

Laissez Les Bon Temps Roule!!

This past Saturday, we took the kids to the Krewe of Gemini parade. We met several other families who had set up a place on Clyde Fant Parkway. We got there around 3:00 and played around until the parade rolled around our spot at 6:00. Of course, the first thing our big 2 did was take off their shoes and run around barefoot the whole time. They had a blast!

Here's Andrew having a cupcake while we were hanging out waiting for the parade to start.

Here is Kathryn, and her friend Anna Grace, playing with sidewalk chalk on the parkway after the roads were closed.

Andrew caught several beads while sitting on Daddy's shoulders.
He also had fun putting the bead around Mommy's neck (and his, too).John Paul definately got into the Mardi Gras spirit. He caught all sorts of toys, beads and cups!

Let the good times roll!!
