The baby's first Mardi Gras party

We had a BIG party last night....our 3rd annual Mardi Gras Shrimp Boil!! It was a lot of fun. Friends from work, Sunday School, running and school came by to celebrate. We boiled 15 pounds of shrimp, 5 pounds of sausage, two packs of mushrooms, 36 half ears of corn, and 10 pounds of potatoes. And it was EXCELLENT! We also fried some meat pies for those that did not eat shrimp. And for dessert....we had King Cake, brownies and peanut butter pie. The King Cake was sent to us from the Gallians, who this year could not join us from Texas. It had been a tradition for them to make their way over to Alabama for this party, but we missed them this year. It was very thoughtful of them to send the cake though and it was enjoyed by many! Greg found the baby this year, and was glad to hear that he did not have to have a baby because he found it! He did promise to bring the cake next year though!!! We have lots of leftovers....so we'll be making lots of meals containing shrimp this week!
Many at the party tried to guess what we're having. Two more sleeps until we find out!!!
