One Week after Mardi Gras

On Tuesday of last week, our church held it's annual Mardi Gras silent auction and dinner to benefit our mission trip to Bolivia. I was in charge of the children's activities which involved setting up a mini Mardi Gras and auction just for the kiddos. After setting up crafts, food tables, balloons, beads, and all the festiveness of Mardi Gras, the children's Mardi Gras room really did look fun! At 6:00pm little friends began to arrive and the fun times got started! The children enjoyed making their own masks, crowns, musical instruments and buying Jazzy Jard from the children's auction table. Our fun times culminated with a parade through the parish hall for all of the adults. I truly enjoy working with the children of our church! Their little smiles makes all of the effort worth it and then some. I look forward to our next fun time adventures with Easter coming up as well as Vacation Bible School!
