Saint Patrick's 2011

We headed to Dallas' famous St. Patty's Parade on lower Greenville Saturday, March 12th. We watched the floats go down Greenville Ave and walked all over the area, enjoying the sights of the crazy tailgaters.

Jeff, Joy, Ren, Leigh Ann, me, Leah, & Joy's mom, Sandy

Everyone met up at Lindsay's apt so we could walk to the parade together. Of course we had to pose for a group photo before heading out.

Me & Joy shamrockin' it at the parade!

One of the many crazy floats.

Cheers! Leah & I at the parade!

Leigh Ann, Ren, Jeff, Leah, & Joy strike a pose.

Kilt clad! Jeff found a fellow kilt buddy to chat with on the parade route.

We got lots of random freebies thrown at us from the floats, including this beach ball and TONS of beads!

We ran into Oneal, from church, after the parade. He participated in the 5K run pre-parade.

On Thursday, March 17th we celebrated St. Pat's Day at work with a crazy hat contest.

Spirited girls! Deborah, Ruby, me, April, Diannah, & Belinda

We forced Vincent to join us in the festivities! I had to show off my shamrock socks & green shoes in this pic! ;)

Phil came decked out and even won one of the crazy hat awards. Yes, that's a hair hat! He's actually bald! ;)

Jeff crafted this amazing butterfly hat and won an extra special award!
