The Ritcheys at a Glance: St. Paddy's Day Party

Our neighborhood St. Paddy's Day party was so much fun and a HUGE success!!

The party started about 4:00 and lasted until the early morning hours! This party signifies quite a bit for the Ritchey family. John and I MET at this very party 3 years ago...March 18, 2006!! He came to see Kerry's band play (he worked with one of the other band members) and there I was... His life was forever changed as soon as he saw my sparkling blue eyes! HA HA HA HA! Actually, my life was forever changed... for the better... I'm SO glad I went to that party. The following year, March 2007 we were engaged, March 2008 I was pregnant and this year we have Adrey! SO much has changed!

Adrey got his very first tattoo at the party too. Gigi held him closely while Katelyn steadily adhered the tattoo to his chunky monkey thighs!

Ta Da!!

Ella and her parents, Sara and Jamie came to the party. Ella is too cute for words and the SMARTEST two year old I have EVER met. She said "Flabergasted"... seriously!?!?! Did I even SPELL it right? Such a wittle smarty pants! And the pig tails, ever so lopsided... so cute....

Adrey and Jo-Jo

Allison... in HEAVEN... !!!!

I think this picture is SO cute! Erin and Adrey makin' eyes at each other!

Yes, we even played LIMBO! And I don't mean to brag, but I'm going to.... I WON!!!! There was an adult competition and I managed to WIN? I'm the least flexible, most non limber person you'll ever meet but I won... competition was pretty weak I guess!

Oh... my.... gosh.... NO, you're not seeing double! TWO leprechauns made a debut at the party!! Adrey and his friend Brennan posed for a few pictures. Adrey started to eat Brennan's hat so we had to stop "shooting"!!

My neighborhood girls whom I LOVE!!! Such a great group!

Anthony and John jumped in and helped sing a song with the band!

Sarah, Kelly, Leah..... MUAH!!!

Oh, and Adrey was sound asleep by 8:00 inside Sarah's house... notice the baby monitor clipped to my shorts in the above picture? I'm such a model parent... drinking keg beer with a monitor on the hip:-) And John resorted to this by about 10:00...
