Cajun Party

The day after Thanksgiving we were invited to our friend Lee's 40th. He has roots in New Orleans, so it was a Cajun - Mardi Gras theme.
Frankly, I had no idea what that meant. Turns out it meant lots and lots of wonderful food and a ton of those beaded necklaces they throw off of floats down that way.
The kids went wild with the beads. And I went wild with the food. It was such a nice contrast to the stuffing and cranberry relish the day before. The kids mostly just ate white rice and corn. Until the cake got served up. The cake was very chocolate and astonishingly good.
The best part was getting to see our friends and laughing a great deal.
