Bellingham had it's first Saint Patrick's Day Parade this year. Our BTC Class got together and entered the parade. They are soooo cute in their green!

Willa and Olivia wait patiently for the parade to start


Check out Ashby chillin in her wagon...love it!



Olivia has a snack for sustinance... it could be a very long parade!


Her future's so bright...

Helena gives Willa the finger.. just kidding! Our friend Helena is actually from Irland and has schooled us in the appropiate Saint Patrick's Day traditions. The next morning she had us over for a traditional Irish breakfast. I probably shouldn't mention that we had several "Irish" coffees before we headed off to church!

The kiddos were a big hit in their wagons

This pic is out of order... here Ann Marie and I do some last minute decorating!
