St. Patrick's Day 2009 turned out to be a wonderful celebration. While it was not Addison's 1st St. Patrick's Day, it was her 1st parade. Last year she was only 5 weeks old so Mommy and Addison stayed home while Daddy attended the festivities alone! This year was so nice. We had 70 degree weather which it really felt warmer than that around mid-day! Which I loved....I always love a warm St. Patty's Day. Last year the guys made a decision to move spots since many of us now have kids; well the guys did a great job at picking a spot!!! It's so nice because there is a great mix of shade & sunshine!! We have enough room to put up a tent with all of our food and coolers and still enough room for the chairs & everyone to stand around to enjoy each others company!! Job well done, guys!!! Here are a few pictures from today....
The Spot....
Father Patrick O'Brien was the Grand Marshal for the 2009 St Patrick's Day parade. Father O'Brien is very special to our family. He was the priest at the church where Nick's family and we attend church. He baptised Nick, married Nick and I, and baptised Addison. We are so excited for Father O'Brien!!!! Congrats!!!
Addison basically lasted long enough to greet Father O'Brien! She then crashed for the first 30-45 minutes of the parade. She slept while the bands were playing and all the noise from the loud Daddies in attendance. She needed the nap....she was a little fussy that morning; but, after her nap she was a new little girl!! She enjoyed her 1st St. Patrick's Day parade.

Great shots! It almost felt like I was there (almost). Miss you guys!
Glad Addison enjoyed her first parade. It was a wonderful day to enjoy. Maybe next year we will bring Maura and Brody! I love the birthday pictures as well!
Her dress is so cute!
