Mardi Gras Week Begins

Mardi Gras is part of our lives in Southwest Louisiana! We prepare all year long to put on a production for the whole world to see!
My week began with the Senior Citizen Ball. Having a grandfather that is a resident of an assisted living facility, I was very excited to be introduced as their Mardi Gras Queen of SWLA! Not to mention, I got to wear my train and mantle for the first time since being crowned!!
This ball is when the kings and queens from each Assisted Living Residences are announced. My grandfather was the king of his Residence last year!
The Grand King and Queen for this year were dressed all in red! Their crowns were beautiful and trains and mantle where big as well! Filled with rhinestone and feathers, here in SWLA we wouldn't have it any other way!

Mardi Gras came and went!

WOW! To think that Mardi Gras season is already over for the year amazes me!! I had so much fun representing my home town of Lake Charles as their Mardi Gras Queen of SWLA for this season.
There are many many memories that I will begin to share with y'all and pictures to go along with them. I don't know what I would have done without the love and support of my friends and family! Everyone was such a BIG help in so many ways! Keep an eye out this week as I bring you back to Mardi Gras week and let you know what it was like to be THE QUEEN!
