St. Patrick's Day Weekend

We spent last weekend back in our hometowns of Winona, MN and Onalaska, WI.  My parents had asked Luke and I awhile ago if we wanted to join them for St. Patrick's Day.  It worked out great because Luke already had the weekend off...  We thought, heck, why not?  We needed a weekend out and it sounded like a great time! (And it surly was!)

Friday - Luke was able to leave work a little early, so we could get on the road and head to Winona at a decent time.  Luke hadn't been back "home" in over a year, so we wanted to try and get in town as early as possible so we could take a little drive through the city and get some extra time with his mom and step dad.  When we arrived, his parents had a delicious dinner waiting for us followed by some time to catch up and chat before it was time to put Jameson to bed and head to bed ourselves.  Saturday was going to be a long day with mommy and daddy out enjoying "adult beverages" and Grandma and Grandpa Gunderson with Wild-Man Jameson. 

Grandma and Grandpa Gunderson were so gracious to watch Jameson overnight!  Luke and I were able to let loose and have fun!!!!  Before we headed out for our "Day O'Green" we made a quick visit to see Luke's dad and step mom.  But of course, our day wouldn't be complete without a quick photo opportunity ;-) 


After our visit with Luke's dad and step mom, we dropped Jameson off at Luke's mom's house and we headed down river to meet up with my parent's.  It was time for mommy and daddy to have a little adult time!

The day was SO much fun!  Our afternoon was spent in downtown La Crosse enjoying great friends, beautiful weather, the St. Paddy's Day parade and of course... Green Beer!

While mommy and daddy were out "playing" Jameson was busy playing with Grandma and Grandpa Gunderson!  Grandma and Grandpa Hansen even stopped by to visit Jameson one more time. 
It took 2 sets of Grandparents and 1 uncle
to get Jameson bathed and dressed
I think this picture is fantastic!

Good times were had by all, but it sure was great to hug and kiss Jameson Sunday morning!  A BIG thank you goes out to Jean and Mark for taking such great care of our little man.
