Shrove Tuesday!

Every year on Fat Tuesday/Shrove Tuesday/Marti Gras our church hosts a Pancake Supper.

I arrived early with the girls to help decorate, and then Bryan joined us from work when it started. 

The adults had regular pancakes, and the kids received yellow, green and purple pancakes (pretty fun, actually!). But Clara decided she didn't dig colored pancakes, so we swapped.

They had lots of fun crafts for the kiddos to do!!

Trying on the mask she made - it never came off, until she was physically put into bed

Pastor Carrie got on the microphone about midway through to let everyone know how the parade was going to go, but Clara thought we were praying for the second time. I love this girl so much.

Sweet prayer hands :)

Back to the pancakes, mmmm
