St. Patrick's Day

We're not very Irish, but the kids and I celebrated St. Patty's day nonetheless!  We started off by heading downtown for the parade.  Alyvia even skipped (pre) school so we could make it on time-uh oh!  We met Cheryl, Reagan and Rylie and LOTS of work friends downtown.  The parade was good, it's a long one, but they didn't throw much candy this year.  A little disappointing, Alyvia had fun and Colson was really good though and that's all that mattered to me!
So serious and so cute!

After the parade we went to lunch at Avanti's-9 mommies and 11 kids-all under the age of 5!!!  It was crazy, but fun!  Home after that for a quick "nap" and then we went and re-did Colson's 6 month pictures.  We tried to do them yesterday and they ended up TERRIBLE.  Colson was so tired yesterday (no nap) and just not his happy self.  So we tried again and this time he did GREAT!!!  Alan went with us and I think that helped a lot, he loves his daddy :)  We went to Old Chicago for dinner and Chris and Anne ended up  showing up there too!   It was so great to have  a nice outing day with the kids-can't wait for our next adventure!
