St. Patrick's Day ~ 2013

St. Patrick's Day-9

The kids have gotten to where they anticipate the traditions of each holiday.  They were so excited for St. Patrick's Day this year, and it wasn't because of the corned beef!

Nope.  They were looking forward to Leprechaun mischief and chocolate coins.

They woke up to a trail of shamrocks, green toilet water, and some silly scenes around the house.

St. Patrick's Day-8

It was really fun that St. Patrick's Day fell on a Sunday this year.

We got dressed & went to church....

 St. Patrick's Day-2

We came home and changed and had a relaxing day around the house.

 St. Patrick's Day-3-2

Dan and I made a special snack for lunch and the kids loved it. 

St. Patrick's Day-3

The fruit was nearly all eaten by the end of the day.

St. Patrick's Day-4

At some point Andrew decided he wasn't wearing enough green and added some to his face!
Silly boy.  :)

St. Patrick's Day-4-2

Dinner was delicious.  Just easy crock pot corned beef and cabbage.  Dan and I always eat this and then say, "Why don't we make this more often?"  And then we don't until the next St. Patrick's day.

St. Patrick's Day-5

I made a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake which was a hit and was asked to be a new St. Patrick's Day tradition.

It was a lovely, relaxing day!

It's the little things in life that bring the biggest smiles! Love the platter of healthy treats. Hey, rolos are milk chocolate ~ I count that as a dairy serving!:)

Love your skirt!
