Uncle Joshie and Auntie Lolo arrived early for the big birthday weekend. On Friday, Addy’s actual birthday day, we showered her with love. Preparations were already underway for her party that would be on Saturday. While cake making and other preparations were being started we also enjoyed revisiting the Rock Band days. Dan had pulled out the drums and Josh and Laura brought the microphones. Addy and JJ have enjoyed the drums for a while and with the microphones added, singing commenced. So many memories from years gone by with this interactive program. By the time we gather for JJ’s birthday party in April I won’t be surprised to see a guitar join the fun.
Friday night we had a table at a fundraiser for the local Rotary Club. It was an Irish themed event with a corned beef and cabbage meal included. The reason we were there was to see the special entertainment, the Haran Irish dancers that Addy is part of.
We all wore a little something to go with the theme of the night.
Besides the dancers there was a musician who played several Irish tunes.
We always enjoy seeing our favorite dancer, Addy May! They were the stars of the evening.
Our dinner table took advantage of the photo op before we all headed home to rest up for Saturday!
Photos from Addy’s Epic ‘Survivor’ party will be coming soon. It was so much fun!

Looks like a fun time for Addy and the whole family. Great photos.
Take care, enjoy your day! Have a wonderful week!
What a fun first day of spring you had at your home, Ellen! And to get to see Addy dancing had to be like icing on the cake! Loved all of the photos. xx
Happy birthday to Addie! Love Irish step dnacing–do you follow the Gardiner Brothers on Instagram? They are two step dancing brothers who perform to modern music in public places all over–they are fun to watch!
What a lovely time. 🙂
That’s a great family photo! I love seeing the pictures of Addy dancing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Irish dancing in person, but I enjoy watching it. She looks like she’s having a great time!
Lots of lovely times together. Addy is looking so grown up. Irish Dancing is fun to watch, and would be even more fun to dance, if one knows how!
Wow, what a great post. So much fun with family. I really enjoyed all of the photos.
What a great way to celebrate the Irish!
