Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Yes, our family is devoted to Scotland, but we still decided to celebrate St. Patrick's Day today. It was a fun day. We woke up and Scott made us pancakes. Delicious! We all then dressed in our St. Patrick's Day green and went downtown to the parade.


Brie loved the parade, but mostly because there were so many dogs out. There were dogs in the parade and dogs walking around watching the parade. She got so excited about every one. It was fun for her because she got to pet and talk to so many.
The parade was also exciting because Brie was thrown beads. And she didn't even have to do anything! She has loved wearing and sucking on the beads all day.
After the parade, we went to lunch at McCools. It is an Irish pub and restaurant. This was a GREAT time. We had a good lunch, the place was packed with people celebrating and drinking green beer and there was live Irish music. I wish you could have seen Brie dancing to the music. She danced in her high chair all through lunch and then we took her to see the musicians. She went right up and danced and spun around in front. There were tables of people loving the entertainment she was providing. It was hilarious. We all came home for a nap and more tournament basketball after lunch. It's been a great St. Paddy's Day. Hope yours was also.

That sounds like a wonderful holiday. Ours ended up being very uneventful, but we did wear the GREEN.

Looks and sounds like a terrific St. Patrick's Day.

What fun, what fun! I love the parade pictures... certainly an Alicia thing, going to a parade. That's so cute that Brie loves dogs so much. Sam shows little interest in animals so far. I took her to the park last Friday and there were tons of ducks, geese, swans, etc. as well as quite a few dogs. When I let her out of the stroller (in the middle of a swarm of pigeons) she ignored all the animals and went straight to the fence to climb over into the flower beds! Maybe Brie can teach her an appreciation for dogs, we'll see.
