St Pats in 5 Points

As has been our tradition for the past few years, we ventured on down to 5 Points (downtown Columbia) for the annual Saint Patrick's Day festivities. This year we opted not to spend money on the entrance fee, rather we joined the other cheapskates at the end of the parade route - where we watched for free! It was a beautiful day with lots of sun shine, and apart for our standard bickering on where to park and whether we would even get there in time for the parade, it was a great morning. Kendall loved the opportunity to walk around in the street.


Here is a video of Kendall enjoying the kid's festival in the park and the Irish music/dancers. Sorry, about the position - I need to remember that I have to take videos from the right angle because I haven't yet figured out how/if I can rotate them later. Here we are the day before eagerly opening our care package from Gma Rose and Gpa Bob...we knew there were sugar cookies inside! The last thing Kendall ate before she went to bed and the first thing she ate the next morning were sugar cookies - and who could blame her!? She also loved the singing picture frame that was included. She just walks around carrying it and dancing. She definitely likes music! Yesterday morning she provided us with a booty dance in bed. The minute anyone starts singing "Shake Your Booty" she is happy to oblige.

No Aunt Erin this weekend to join us - she headed to San Diego on Thursday night for a weekend trip for Amy and Alex's engagement party. Meanwhile Leslie was nice enough to come over on Thursday afternoon to watch Kendall for a few hours until daddy got home from work. Apparently, Kendall was happy to have someone else read to her and very sad to see Leslie go.

Aaron has another baseball draft to partake in today, so Kendall and I will head off to church. I am hoping that when the two sleepy heads get up, Aaron will make us some breakfast! Bacon is calling...
