This morning we participated in one of my favorite events that Columbia does every year. We have a really great St. Patrick’s Day celebration in 5 Points (an area of Columbia, for those that aren’t familiar). We used to live really close to this area, but since selling our house we’re a little farther away now.
But it’s still fun to go down for all the festivities. Our favorite part of the celebration is the parade. It’s a small parade, but it’s very family-friendly, and it runs down my favorite street in town.
We all put on our green this morning and headed to meet some friends at the parade.
Hayes did a lot of running around, but he had his moments where he would sit and watch. I told him to sit down, so he did, but he didn’t realize he was facing the wrong direction.
Hudson was really into asking for candy and beads.
Ainsley and sweet little Oliver. Ainsley’s other son, John, is Hudson’s best little friend.
Hudson and John are pretty much inseparable. It was fun watching the parade with them today!
Hayes would have been content to march in the parade with everyone else, but I think he’ll have to wait a few years for that.
I love looking back through my blog at all the years we’ve gone to the parade. You can see the 2010, 2011, and 2012 parades.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day weekend!
So adorable! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Wonderful photos! Looks like so much fun! My friend, you look beautiful!
I wish it would have been warmer here today. Due to very chilly weather, we had to stay inside with baby Caroline! Joe took Jack for a walk around the neighborhood and then a special car ride to the bank & furniture store.
I always love the p-Rade! Did y’all see Sambo? Looks like y’all had a good time! You were with one of my favorite JLC girls. Hope to see your sweet face soon. XO
I think Hayes is reaaaaaally starting to resemble his older brother 🙂
Looks like a fun day 🙂
HA- Hayes facing backwards!
Love that scarf!!! And the best buddies — that’s adorable.
By the way, I have to tell you — my kids can’t stop watching Peter Pan. Will wakes up and says “May I have Peter Pan now?” He doesn’t even wait for his feet to hit the floor! You. Are. Brilliant. That’s all I’m sayin’! 🙂
Happy St. Patty’s to your sweet family. Love the pictures!!
What a fun day! It is so cute seeing the littles with little pals! And Hazer looks so excited sitting the wrong way, hehe, so cute! I love that scarf and you always look beautiful in it! I thought about calling you during naptime today, but just couldn’t make it happen 😉 I hope you’re having a great day!
There are a lot if redheaded babies in those pics! Cute!
