Annual Pancake Supper

As today is Shrove Tuesday (the English equivalent of Mardi Gras), the Pullem family attended our church's annual Pancake Supper. It was a delicious affair, complete with all-you-can-eat pancakes & sausage, breakfast beverages, and followed by a festive king cake. We'd been looking forward to it for days, especially the girls!

Jordi decided that she wanted to sit with her cousin Emily at the big girl table. Emily & her friends are in the 4th grade, and they are always nice enough to include Jordi whenever she's around. It really makes her feel special!

Caroline, on the other hand, was stuck with us at the grown-ups' table. I don't think she cared much where she sat, though, as long as there was a plate of pancakes in front of her!

After pancakes, it was time for cake! This sticky coffee-cake type pastry is called a king cake, and is a traditional symbol of Mardi Gras (note the beads and coins on top).

As you can see, everyone thought it was as delicious as it looked!
