Happy St. Patties!

Oliver was so happy and cute on his first St. Patrick's Day.

The kids minus Goose sportin their green.
As long as Jeremy and I have been married his mom has always cooked Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Patrick's Day or whenever our family get together was in the month of March. Jeremy loves it so much so it is now a tradition for our family as well. To be honest it is on my list of not so good food. Jeremy and the kids love it though. Well let me rephrase that Jeremy, Grant and Monte love it. Corned Beef, Cabbage, Carrots, Red Potatoes and Horseradish sauce was on the menu tonight, and I was not excited about dinner. Although, I do like the veggies when they are cooked alone, there is just something that makes me gag when you slow cook the veggies with the corned beef. Weird, I know. Lilly and I had Mac and Tom, green jello and sourdough bread.

Once again the leprechauns visited our home. They left the toilet water green, green footprints all over the walls and even turned our milk green! Lilly made sure she was dressed very green. She wanted to make sure there wasn't ANY chance she would get pinched.

For breakfast we had green milk and my best attempt at green waffles. The waffles only looked green when you cut into them. I didn't realize that until I started cooking them.


Nothing quite like a cold glass of green milk.

Without fail every year the little men walk all over our walls leaving footprints everywhere!

Lilly was beyond thrilled when she woke up to gold on her pillow. Those leprechauns are at it again.

  3. I am amazed at the stuff you do for Holidays. I totally forgot to even have Ryker wear green. I ended up running a green shirt to school for him so he wouldn't feel bad. Good job to you though.
