O'Focker Day! (Better known as St. Patrick's Day)


If you don't know my family then the title of this post might seem a little strange. My family has been going to the St. Patrick's Day Parade down town since we were all little kids. Being that it is an Irish holiday there are lots of families in the parade with names like O'Malley, O'Shea, etc. So we decided that we wanted to get in on the action and decided to make ourselves the O'Focker clan. At first it was just funny and silly but it has grown to be a big deal. The first year we made a poster that said "The O'Focker Clan". The next year we had a banner on butcher paper. We now have a professional banner that we put up at the parade every year. Some of us even have jackets that say the O'Focker Clan on the back. Every year the clan gets bigger and bigger. We did decide that to be an official O'Focker you have to come at least two years. The more the merrier. We always have such a good time. I think that my family may look forward to St. Patrick's day more than Christmas! Any way the above picture is of our sweet banner that is always put up on our same corner for the parade.
