St. Patrick’s Day has always been a big deal for by big Irish family. We haven’t missed a St. Patrick’s Day parade for as long as I can remember, but this year may have been the best yet!
Matt and I were in St. Louis for the weekend for a family shower on Sunday – at least that’s what we thought. When we arrived at the parade on Saturday, this is what we saw:
That’s right, a float in our honor! Complete with a wedding chapel and even an Irish-colored sombrero (I’m half Irish, half Mexican, btw)! I was shocked! I’m glad I had my sunglasses on b/c I even teared up a little. I just couldn’t believe all the work the whole family had done for us. From my Aunts coordinating the parade to my cousin designing special t-shirts, everyone pitched in. I mean, my Honorary Uncle made the sombrero out of paper mache and my Uncle actually built that chapel in his garage!! Amazing.
The day was so much fun and I was reminded once again just how lucky we are to have the families that we do. Truly blessed!
Thank you to everyone who helped to plan and execute this awesome day.
