"So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment."—Thomas S. Monson

King Cake Party 2012!

We had our annual King Cake party on Monday night for FHE. We ate delicious southern food, (cornbread with honey, lemonade, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, jambalya with smoked sausage, ham and shrimp, shrimp and cheesy grits, salad, and collard greens with bacon, and that's just for starters). We had Mississippi mud pie and Key lime pie for dessert.
We invited great company, Missy, Jedd, Jared, Sam, Ellie and Anderson.
Trex, Tom, Cindy, John, Aaron and Carina.

and we even threw in a few Bedke's (Eric Bedke's son, Jess and his wife who now live in Caldwell)
And we enjoyed dancing complete with Zydeco music. (Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the wild dancing.
No King Cake party is complete without the King Cake. This year the baby Jesus was found by Carina so I guess next year she will be hosting the big bash.

Holy cow, I have sure missed out on a lot of posts recently. But it sounds like you guys have had a lot of fun stuff going on. When will the Boise temple be completed? It seems like I've seen quite a few temple trip posts.
