Happy Fat Tuesday!

What a wild Fat Tuesday! We learned that Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" and that the name comes from an ancient custom where a fat ox was paraded through Paris on this day. We also learned that there are parades, costumes, necklaces thrown, the main colors (purple, green, and gold), and king cakes.

We got to eat a king cake at snack.

And Jackson just came back from Mardi Gras in Mobile this weekend so we got necklaces! Thanks, Jackson's mom!
