When Irish Eyes are Smiling.........

Just a few pictures from the 2013 Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Hartford. The day was beautiful in every way with lots of family, snacks, music and fun!


Peter was heading out with the Hardings so I just had my four Wild Irish Roses! As beautiful as can be!



My goddaughter went all out to show her Irish Pride.

We were lucky Pete was awake during the parade because he had a sleepover at Tyler's the night before.

Katie was a bit grumpy - must have been her lack of green.

Another Harding kid decked out in Irish! Love this kid!

Annie was keeping Lila entertained by "teaching" her!

As you will notice my sweet Lila was not all that cooperative for her auntie!


Lila loves to hang out with Papa.

Here comes the parade!




Annie got to sit next to Lila and hold her hand and just kept waiting for the next thing to come down the road.She loves parades.

Papa and Ellie loving the parade and staying warm.

ALl in all a great day.We left the parade and went to Peter's basketball game where he scored the two points that tied the game and sent them into overtime where they won by two points! It was his last game and Grammy and Papa, Kk and Brian and all the Hardings and Harding - Wheelers were there to see it!
