Celebrating Green

Per tradition, we celebrated everything Irish on St. Patrick's Day.  We started by preparing for the leprechauns-they did a number on the kids' rooms.  We also baked some shamrock cookies.  Grady still needs to work on his rolling and cutting out skills. 

And keeping the mouth out of the icing skills.

We invited a few friends over to help us celebrate, and I made official cornbeef and cabbage with soda bread on the side.  To everyone's surprise (including mine) it was a big hit!  People went back for seconds even!  of cornbeef!  Who knew?  Of course, we dabbled in the Irish beers a little, too-it just wouldn't be complete without that.
