Long overdue for an update post but in the meantime: Happy Mardi Gras and in particular Happy Birthday to my mother. She turns 81 today!

This is her first birthday since moving back here to KC so myself, Himself and middle sister are going over to younger sister's house this evening with a King cake, beads and feathered masks to surprise her :). Now if we can just be sure she gets the baby......

I managed to be in New Orleans once for Mardi Gras years and years ago. I'm really glad I took advantage of the opportunity for that visit. I'm not one for crowds but being on Canal Street for the Zulu and Rex parades was something else. My favorite was Bachus however, held at night. Now that was a party!!!

Happy birthday to your Mom, and God grant her many more!

Are you baking the cake? Then somebody coule insert the Baby before icing it, and you could mark the right piece with a decoration of some kind....

middle-sis lived in Baton Rouge for several years and found a bakery here that does a good King cake so the cake is her responsibility, I got the beads, etc. And I'm beting whoever gets the baby will probably give it to her but yes, if we can tell where it is when we start cutting it, she will get that piece :).

maybe Sis can explain the Special Circumstances, and the bakery could mark the Baby?

I'll suggest it, altho it might be to late. I'll be eyeballing the cake for a 'dent' too :).

I just hope its not too much of a let down that we could not get Hugh Jackman to host Her 81st Birthday celebration like he did for Oscar the other night. ;-)

I think she will deal, but you better have him lined up for *my* 81st!!!

Um. I forgot to ask - you're not gonna make Mom EARN her beads, right? ;-)
