Saturday morning our Birthday Boy woke up early, had some breakfast, napped a bit, and then headed out to the Craig's for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. I used to go back in the day, but this was the rest of the gangs first trip to the Baton Rouge Festivities. Since our little man was geared up in his St. Patrick's Day attire we wanted to make sure everyone knew it was his special day so we made him a Birthday sign.
The weather was really hot, but pretty and Jack had a good time. Not really full of smiles, but no tears either. We've decided that we might rent him out for future parades because he was a magnet for good beads (and cute girls attention!).
Perfect little leprechaun!
Jack loved people watching while waiting for the parade to start.
The Relle Clan.
Dad would hold Jack up with the sign and there was a crew in front to catch the beads.
Mary Beth got Jack his leprechaun hat but he wasn't a fan of wearing it so Uncle Brian hid behind them and held it over his head for the picture....Jack wasn't amused and cut Uncle Brian some pretty scary looks.
"Throw me something Mister...I'm One Today!"
The weather was at least 84 degrees and sunny. Every now and then we would step back under the trees to cool off with a fan and some water.
After the parade when we went inside we found Jack's twin. They even both had green leprechaun hats (and neither one of them enjoyed wearing them).
"I did have fun Uncle Joey even though it was hot. Thanks for being my bead bodyguard."
"No hard feelings Uncle Brian. I know you only put that hat on me for Mom to snap a picture. Hope my good looks and birthday helped to get you some good loot for Mardi Gras next year."
"This birthday parade was awesome. I can't wait to see what happens when I turn two next year!"
"Happy St. Patrick's Day!"
