    This is Codyre's first St. Patrick's Day, and she is a true leprechaun! Her name comes from her great grandmother's maiden name, who was born in Ireland. There are only about 65 people with the last name Codyre, most of whom live in Ireland! We love our sweet little Irish lass! Photo courtesy of April.

    I created a 12 month calendar of my first born son Austin. Every month had a holiday and March had this. My husbands favorite beer, small enough to sit on the case. Austin is pondering when he is old enough will he like this beer. Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

Our Cutest Leprechaun Contest has come to a close. Over the past few weeks, dozens of families submitted photos of their little ones: some were decked out in shamrocks and kilts, others donned their best smiles.
The most viewed photo—our 2018 winner—is "Little Irish Lass" on her first St. Patrick’s Day.
Thank you to all who participated! Enjoy the slideshow of all the entries above.
