Let the festivities begin!

This weekend kicked off the BIG St. Patrick's day celebration in Savannah. For those of you not aware, Savannah has the 2nd largest St. Patrick's day parade and celebration in the country. I really had no idea about it until I met Jimmy. While there is the crazy-party-mini-mardi gras celebration that takes place on River Street it really is a family friendly celebration.

Saturday we went downtown to the Tara Feis festival. This was a family-friendly event (no green beer here) and showcased Irish music and dancing. They had a bouncy play area for the kids and Jimmy loved it! We had a lot of fun and spent the afternoon downtown with the Justice's and the A. Smith's. Jimmy was interviewed for the paper and they also interviewed little Ash and little Jimmy (Jimmy just said whatever Ash said) and took their picture. Unfortunately, the picture didn't make the paper, but big Jimmy and little Ash were quoted! It started to rain so we headed home and everyone came over to our house and the kids played while the adults hung out on our porch. We can finally enjoy the nice weather and the gnats were not out...yet!







Today we went to Sunday school and church (though went to late church since the time change messed us up a little bit) and then Jimmy and little Jimmy spent all afternoon outside and they cleaned out the shed!! It was a most productive day!

Hanging out after an afternoon of hard work:





Looking forward to Wednesday and the parade!

The pictures of the shed cleaning out are too precious!
