I met my husband five years ago today (St. Patrick's Day), in a bar. We were engaged in the same bar three years ago today. So tonight, we took the girls to the bar for their very first St. Pat's. That's right, I had two babies in a bar, and they were really good. My aunt and I took them over early so we could get a booth and a parking spot, and we were all home and in our pajamas by 8pm. Very unlike the St. Patrick's days of my past....
Charlotte wanted a Guiness... or was terrified of it. Hard to tell with her.
Katie just wanted to smile and chew on her fist. Same things she does at home.
The four of us. PJ had come right from work, hence the red (not very Irish) shirt. NOT a great picture, but the only one I got of the four of us, in 'our' booth, the booth where we met and got engaged.
Charlotte modeling the ensemble, and Katie hitting the bottle.
Charlotte, not happy in the hat, and wondering WHY AM I IN A BAR?? LOL
And finally, Katie in her little pink coat ready to go home. Until next St. Patrick's day, goodbye bar... thanks for eveything!! Without you there would be no us. :)

What a fun tradition for your family.
You DO realize that they'll be telling their friends about how their parents took them to a bar as infants, right? LOL

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you! And, as usual, the girls are adorable! I love their dresses!!!
Love the pics. St. Patty's Day was the 8 year anniversary of my and DH's first day. Who knew it would be such a special day?!?!
Your daughters are pretty much the cutest babies I've ever seen. They make me smile- and after my recent m/c, I haven't had much to smile about. Thank you for sharing!
I totally loved all of these pictures! So sweet! Their outfits were TOO CUTE!
I too was reminded of
"Sweet Home Alabama"
YOU HAVE A BABY! IN A BAR?!?!
LOLOL
I have to say that the older the girls get, the more I think they look like sweet Jack. Both of them.
How cute!!! That picture of Charlotte was too funny. Katie is adorable!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
Such big eyes taking it all in!
I keep thinking of that line from Sweet Home Alabama... "She has a baby. In a BAR."
Seriously though, love the pics, and the girls' dresses are darling. There were slim pickings here in WA, I guess there is no Irish spirit here! Happy meeting/engagement day :)
how awesome! my husband and i also met in a bar (but an english pub, not an irish one) and we took the boys to it a few weeks ago. unfortunately, they had to stay outside since there is still smoking in bars here.
love the pics of the girls, esp charlotte. i understand, i'm scared of guinness too. :P
What a beautiful family!
My husband and I also first starting dating on St. Patrick's Day of 2002, actually! It must be a special day. :)
Awww how cute! Happy Anniversary!
Gotta love the eyes...They say everything!!! So adorable, both girls. Lots to celebrate on St. Patty's Day!! Happy, happy!!!
What a magical day for you and your family! And, I LOVE that you took your babies to a bar to celebrate...good for you! We had our girls in the same dresses for St. Patty's day...so darn cute! Happy St. Patrick's Day to your family!
that is wonderful that the girls were so good at the bar and they look like they had a lot of fun too! i love the picture of charlotte looking at the guiness - the look on her face is so funny and katie's smiles just melt my heart. how wonderful that you were able to get the picture of the 4 of you in your booth too!
