Liam has been counting down the days to Fat Tuesday, partly because we all love a party, but mostly because our special guests Cheryl and John will be joining us for the sixth year in a row! We make sausage, bacon, pancakes, whipped cream, donuts and we do an activity called "What I Like About You." On Fat Tuesday, we put each person's name at the top of purple or green paper and pass the papers around till everyone has a list of kind comments to read out loud. I can't remember how this got started, but we've been doing it since 2002 and some of the older ones are quite amusing and very sweet.
Some favorites from past years:
What I like about Bridget is "she lets me have sleepovers with her." (from a little sister)
What I like about Karlyn is "she gives me candy and hugs." (from the sweet tooth in the family)
What I like about Bridget is "she is vare nise." ( a friend in 2002)
