St. Patrick's Day 2013

Dear Kate,
We had a fun time celebrating St. Patrick's Day this year.  The Friday before, sister had a friend over and we made green cupcakes.  You were happy to test them out a few days before the big green day!

 That weekend, Daddy was out of town on a boys trip, so Sarah came up to help us celebrate.  On St. Patty's morning, we fixed green pancakes!  You thought they were delicious!!
 After our bellys got full, we headed to the park.  It was such a pretty day, we needed to be outside, and we thought we'd try to teach you how to ride your bike you got for Christmas.  As you can see, you were not concerned about that and preferred walking...

 And sliding.  backwards...

 We headed home for lunch, which included several green items - spinach wraps, avocado, green grapes and some broccoli!  Delicious!!
 Then, crazy as it may sound, we headed to an Easter egg hunt!  I know, right?!  A little odd it's on St. Patty's day, but that's just the way Easter fell this year - early!
You had a blast playing with the parachute...


And of course looking for eggs!!!





Yep, Kipper and Ellie joined us, too!


While you only got a couple eggs, you were thoroughly happy with that!  You loved taking them out, then back in the basket.  Out, again, then back in...



As we were leaving the egg hunt, we looked up and Jake and Ryan were walking up!  They missed the hunt due to some timing issues, but we didn't want to miss an opportunity to hang out with them, so we headed BACK to the park for more fun.  And, since we were having such a great time enjoying the day, we invited them to our house to grill out!! We enjoyed the rest of the day playing outdoors on our playground!
Jakey was precious as ever!
And seems to be just as monkeyish as you!






Daddy ended up cooking his famous hamburgers and while we didn't end the day with anything green to eat (other than the green cupcakes!!), we did end our day with some great friends!!! I love spur of the moment fun!! And love you too!!
