MARTI GRA

We ran around all last week trying to find masks for a Marti Gra Party at sister-in-laws church on Saturday. We ended up clear across town at Party City to finish our hunt.
Planning  for the night I made some  purple ,yellow & green cookies to grace the refreshment table and  sister made some bar-b-q  meatballs.  When the day came there was a very good chance the evening would find us in a major(watch box ) storm.  We made it through the whole party with not a drop of  rain. Infact,  when we came out to go home it was a very balmy warm breeze to go home in.  Then about midnight it came down in buckets and the sky lit up for about two hours.  We were glad we were home as our puppy doesn't like thunder and lighting .  She ended up with us in bed all night! 
So here are the picture of the party!

Brother and  his wife  danced the night away.  He is wearing his mad hatters  shapo!  We had a great time and the  church made  a nice profit as well.  The 50-50  went for $140.00.  A good bit of change for a small church in our quie little town! Lent will start next week.
