WOW I'm behind on my posts!! Anyway...the weekend before St Patty's a bunch of friends came down to celebrate the Good Ole' Irish!! We had a BLAST! Since St Pat's fell on a Tuesday everyone made it down by Friday but had to leave before the big day. Hanz, Lily and I still made it downtown to see the parade with our neighbors and I must admit...I had my hesitations...everyone was talking up this being one of the biggest parades in America and I didn't believe them but once we made it down there it truly was AMAZING!! I was so proud to have a little Irish running through my blood and getting to be there with one of our good friends, Damien (who is 100% Irish straight from the Motherland) was wonderful! Here are some pics from the whole thing!

Some soldiers from Hanz's post...a tradition is that girls from the crowd run up and kiss the soldiers, leaving lipstick on their cheeks...I saw it happen and it was sooo cool! The soldiers have tons of red lipstick marks!! : )
HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY FROM THE WELO FAMILY!!
