Sissy, Auntee Yolande, Derick and Family at the

Mardi Gras!

Hi Mom,

I arrived here this afternoon and everybody was so happy to see me. I was really tired and ready for a nap so Lacey let me and Ghost snuggle up with her.

Lacey thinks Ghost looks like her. I was rested and dressed when Derick got home from school and was he surprised to see that I was here. Look what I have! My very own Mardi Gras umbrella,

boy am I going to dance. Derick says I should call Yolande, Nana like all of the kids do. We had a snack and then took pictures. Derick is going to hold me on his shoulder

at the parades so I can catch beads. I'm so excited! I love you and will write again soon.

Day 2

Hi Mom,
My day has been so busy and I'm dead tired so this note wont be too long. Today we worked on my Mardi Gras costume. Wait till you see! We had so much fun, Nana ( Yolande ) let me help and Lacey thinks she knows everything. We had Seafood Gumbo for dinner tonight then went to the Aquilia parade.

I sat with some kids

on their ladder for a while but they wanted everything I caught, so I got back on

Derick's shoulder. I had a good time but I'm soooooo sleepyyyyyy. zzz zzzzzz Sorry cj she fell asleep.

Yolande

More pictures soon!
