Mardi Gras Wreath

I also saw this on the way to Lafayette.

Mardi Gras Tree

REVISION: I took this second pic of Chris on Thanksgiving 2010 (10 mths later).

I sawthis tree at the Louisiana Welcome center. It's basically a Christmas tree decorated for Mardi Gras. I'm not sure when this tradition started. I'd only seen it recently. We had a safe trip to Lafayette. Chris got settled into our new home (in picture). We saw his new school on the drive. I drove back to Dallas on Monday. Chris started his new School today and told me that there are 2 recesses but they are only 12 minutes each (LOL) and that the lunch was 'okay'.
