This morning we got up at the beach, packed up and headed to Bishop McNamara High School for Finn's band concert/competition...

 

   

We got warmed up in the back orchestra rooms...

                                     

                                      

                                      

Then it was time for the concert. The St. Bernadette Band, and particularly Finn's drum playing, sounded great! And it was only a few songs long and we were done!

   

   

After the concert we drove home to get unpacked and Daddy and Mama went to our neighbors, the Madden's, for their annual St. Patrick's Day Party!

   

They sure had a beautiful day for it and they had a huge turnout! So many parents and friends were there!

They had lots of yummy food (that Daddy and Mama kindly brought home for us too!) - corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, Mac n cheese, shepherds pie...

                                       

                                      

And these super cute cookies that someone made!

                                       

   

   

   

Looks like everyone had a great time and we had a nice, relaxing rest of the evening at home getting prepared for another week of school!
