The Irish Festival And Papa's Birthday!

HIGH: We had a great time at the Irish Festival :) AND We had a great time celebrating Papa's birthday :)
LOW: We skipped naps two days in a row and the kids were BEAT :(
We had a great time at the Irish Festival today.  My cousin's band Emish played (click HERE to check them out) and we all went out to see them.  The kids had fun listening to the music and dancing!
We all got dressed up in our finest Irish attire and had a blast!
Oliver loved sitting with Aunt Susie and listening to the music.  He kept asking about all the different instruments.
Claire looked like a little Irish Princess in her Irish gear.
Oliver was loving being out on the dance floor.  He kept stomping his feet and jamming away.  He asked me to dance with him but then he kept telling me, "NO! Not like that Mama!"  Apparently Mark did a much better job on the dance floor than I did.
Claire was a little shy and wasn't really feeling the dance floor but Oliver managed to get her out there for a quick dance!
Claire just loved being with her Daddy.
I even got to be in a group picture!!
The whole Irish gang.
 After hearing Emish play we walked around a little bit and then headed to Nana and Papa's to celebrate Papa's birthday.  The kids had fun swimming and then they just wanted to relax.  We have been skipping a lot of naps lately and they were beat.  Claire kept asking me, "Is it almost bedtime?"  and when I would say, "Soon honey.  Why are you tired?"  she would quickly respond, "NO! Not at all!! I was just wondering!!" 

Happy birthday Papa!  We love you more than words can say!!!!!
