We had an amazing St. Patrick's Day from start to
finish! Before heading to Mass, we had a delicious pancake breakfast, which was
crashed by a leprechaun. Somehow, he managed to put green sprinkles in our
pancakes, and he got away before we could catch him! Despite the cold, we had a
fun-filled afternoon at the Pearl River St. Patrick's Day Parade. We enjoyed
watching the parade with the Walsh, Barry, and Zingarelli families, and we
cheered when we saw Uncle Wally, Wally, Nicky, Aunt Maylene, and Olivia march
past us. Afterwards, we visited with the Wally Klein family before heading to
the annual corned beef and cabbage feast at the Colonna's! Nana made a
delightful meal, which was complimented by Nanny's Irish soda bread. We had a
great time, and I've never seen so many Italians dressed in green. Nana was
happy to see that her grandchildren opted for pasta and meatballs over the
corned beef. Regardless of their food choices, these little ones are more than
25% Irish. Happy St. Paddy's Day from the O'Colonna's!

| Kate was all bundled up! Daddy kept her warm during the parade. |
 |
| They had so much fun blowing on these green horns! |
 |
| We were so happy to see my brother, Wally, and my nephew's, Wally and Nicky, walking with Buddy Ball. We also spotted our favorite Daisy and Troop Leader! Olivia waved right to the camera! |
 |
| We were so happy to watch the parade with some of our friends! Hopefully, next year it won't be quite as cold! |

| I can't decide which of these two pictures I like better! |
 |
| The Colonna's were ready to party! I think I was wearing the least amount of green. |
 |
| We were so happy that Terry came to join us for dessert, and she brought each child a beautiful Irish themed cookie pop. |
