St. Patrick's Day Parade

Saturday was a beautiful early Spring day in KC, so we headed to the Brookside St. Patrick's Day Parade. It was a great parade that lasted over an 1 1/2 with everything from floats to men in kilts. (see below) We had a great time!

Fall Photos

This past fall we had our family photos taken. The photographer finally updated her blog today with the pics....so wanted to share with all of you. Click here to view the collage of photos she put together. Our family photo on the right was also taken by this photographer as well as the photos below. Enjoy!

Snow Day!

KC got about 12 inches of snow on Tuesday. I am lucky that my office was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday so I enjoyed a mid-week break and stayed home with Kate. Here are some pics of how we spent our snow days!

Tiny Dancer

Kate has been playing dress-up in her tutus. I think we have a future ballerina in the making. She even talked her mom into playing dress-up too!

Christmas Vacation

I am lucky that my office closes between Christmas and New Years so the Potchad family enjoyed some good family time this past week. Here are a few pics of the week's highlights!

Kate loving the ice skaters at the Crown Center skating rink.

Checking out all of the lights and Christmas displays at the famous "Falmouth" display

in Prairie Village.

We met some friends at an in-door play gym one morning so all of the kids could burn off some energy. Here is Kate going up the steps and then down the slide super fast!

Following her buddy Graham Briscoe!

Hanging out with Joshua Eberhart at the gym.

Kate and Emory Niswanger going down the slide together.

We enjoyed an evening with our friends Debbie and Buddy McFadden and they spoiled Kate with this cute puppy dog!

Christmas Fun

We had a wonderful Christmas and were lucky to spend time with both sides of our family. We spent Christmas in Coldwater with Grandma and Grandpa Boisseau or according to Kate "Gigi and Papa". Then we headed back to KC the day after Christmas and did "Christmas" with Grandma and Grandpa Potchad or "BG and Charie". The pics below are a mixture of Christmas with our families and fun Chritmas sights in KC!

The Man in Red

We were able to see Santa and Mrs. Clause yesterday. (twice for those of you who notice that Santa has two looks in the below pics) Kate could not have been more scared of Santa and wanted nothing to do with him. We told her that he might bring her an Elmo doll but as you can see below that didn't really matter to her.
