Happy St. Patty's Day

The Wennerstroms LOVE St. Patty's Day..even if we aren't Irish.  We're all Irish on St. Patrick's Day, right?  And we gave one of our kids an Irish name so we could be included!  :)

 

2 weekends ago, we headed to the Elmhurst parade.  It's always such a fun day, even if it was a little cold this year.  Thankfully, most of the time we were inside at the Glure's home. We brought the kids with us for the parade part, then we brought them home to have a sleepover with Nana and Papa (thank you so much Nana and Papa) while we went back for the adult portion of the evening.

 

Here are few pictures of the day:

 

Daddy of the year!  Libby was the warmest person at the parade...and thanks Patrick for sharing your super cute hat!!!!

Daddy and his 3 girls.  Behind them were the bagpipes...we made some "buddies"!!!!  The girls were decked out in green, but their jackets covered it up.  It's hard to believe at the same parade a year ago, they were in short sleeve shirts...and we didn't even know about Miss Libby yet!!!!  What a difference a year makes!

Not a great family picture, but proof we were all there!  :)  In the background you can see cutie Patrick enjoying his 1st St. Patrick's Day parade.  His wagon also doubled as a cooler holder, so he was super popular at the parade!  :)

Caitlin made my heart melt.  She has always been in love with Irish dancers...and we knew she had to go to the parade to check it out.  She was so excited and waved at the dancers the whole time.  Then, they stopped right in front of her and danced..and she started dancing along with them.  It was so adorable.  I have spoken with one dance company about her starting lessons this summer..she will be in heaven.  I'm debating on waiting a year because next year she can do our park district dance class with the recital and I feel that every kid should do it one year...and then maybe start Irish dancing.  We'll see....either way, she was loving the dancers!!!

 

The girls both had St. Patrick Day celebrations at school.  They were happy to pose for a picture for me! 

Caitlin always striking a pose!

Abigail as sweet as ever.

 

Libby also wore her cute St. Patrick's Day sleeper, but I couldn't find a good picture.  But couldn't do a post without this sweet baby: 

Melts.  My.  Heart!  Love this little girl!

 

Hope your St. Patrick's Day was full of good luck and green beer!  :)
