We hosted our 4th annual Crawfish Boil on May 28th... and let the good times roll. We really lucked out with the weather ... given the amount of rain we had in May it really was a blessing that we had a rain free, sunshine filled day! This year we had 50 some adults and 25+ kids in attendance! A good combination of neighbors, friends and coworkers. It is so fun to see more and more children at the event each year. I loved watching Kenzie and Lexi interact with all of the other kids. The girls were still napping when everyone arrived and when they woke up to find our house and yard filled with people it was a bit overwhelming for Kenzie at first. But once she really woke up and warmed up to everyone she was ready to party :) The girls both enjoyed the fried catfish and shrimp this year and they LOVED the canteloupe, watermelon and crawfish cookies!
Since there were so many kids in attendance this year, I got a crawfish shaped pinata and it was a big hit!
The youngest guest in attendance was little Maddie. She is just precious and I am so glad that Audra and Kyle brought her... it reminded me of how little Kenzie and Lexi were at the Crawfish boil last year. Hard to believe that next year Maddie will be running around with all of the other kids! The party was a bit bitter-sweet because we also had to say farewell to the DeLacy family, as they are moving to London. Kenzie and Lexi are going to miss Lily & Olivia.
Once again we owe huge thanks to Randall's parents as without them we could not pull this off! They drove up the 80lbs of crawfish, 50 lbs of shrimp and 25 lbs of catfish from New Orleans and spent the whole day preparing the feast. Lexi knows to kiss the cook! Thanks Papa Gene and Granny! We love you!
