Phoebe enjoyed her first Mardi Gras party! Cousin Santana (from Louisiana) sent us a King Cake this year. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a traditional Mardi Gras celebration cake- it's actually like a big, braided, glazed donut with icing and sprinkles- and there's a plastic baby baked inside! Whoever gets the baby in their piece of cake (and doesn't choke on it!) is supposed to have good luck for the whole year! She also sent Phoebe this special "Mardi Gras Princess" shirt, beads, and a play gold coin...which Phoebe tried to eat! She had lots of fun playing with the beads, swinging them around, and chewing on them. The cake was a trip too- I shared it with pretty much everyone we know, as there was a ton of it! Phoebe had a piece of the cake for dessert on Mardi Gras day, and it was hilarious! The first bit she broke off to eat was the ENTIRE layer of icing, which she gulped down all at once. (This was the point where I knew I was in trouble.) Then she picked up the cake and munched through it like a taco...and proceeded to go INSANE for about half an hour- she was running around like E.T., waving her arms, yelling, laughing- she was CRAZY! Uncle Nick and Aunt Am were over, and Phoebe gave Uncle Nick quite the work out as he chased around after her! Thanks, Santana, for making this year's Mardi Gras awesome!!
