Alaina's Lucky Day!

Mom and Dad both took off work on Thursday to spend the day with our lucky little leprechaun for her 2nd birthday! We decided to check out the St.Patrick's Day parade in St.Paul. Grandma Mac and Auntie Cathy decided to join us also! The streets were a sea of green! We had a great time and are thinking of making it a birthday tradition for Alaina... maybe we(Auntie Cathy) can round up the troops to walk in it next year! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALAINA!

As you can tell, this was not Auntie Cathy's first St.Patrick's Day parade! She brought her signs that she had used for many years in the Hastings St.Patrick's Day parade! Thanks Cathy!

The Birthday Girl!

Auntie Cathy and her St.Patty's Day gear from the 70's! Still very cute Cathy!

There's Mommy?

Thanks for the nice horn grandma Mac!

Yessss, this parade does have something other than green people, CANDY!!!

Had to take a picture of this guy!!

One of many bagpipe bands...I like!

A green DOG!

Nope mom, I will not smile for any pics on my birthday!
Ok, maybe I will for the leprechaun.... Where did he go, come back!!

Here comes the birthday clan!!! Yes Alaina they are definitely going to sing to you!

Are these people crazy or what?!!

Happy Birthday to you!
Alaina's present from the birthday crew - these nice shamrock glasses!
