St. Patrick's Day

One of my favorite holidays is St. Patrick's Day, not only because I have some Irish in me, but because I feel like it is the start of spring. Everyone is wearing green and it is just so bright and fun! This year we celebrated with our bestest friends and even Joe's brother and mom came into town! We had amazing food at the Mercier's and we had the traditional corn beef, cabbage and potatoes and I made my famous M&M cookies with Green only M&M's and I also made a very festive veggie tray.

Joe's mom offered to watch the kids so that us grown ups could have some adult time. She also wanted to spend some time with the kids too (that's what grandma's love to do). I was a little nervous at first because I'm still breastfeeding and the baby has never had a bottle in his life and I didn't think he would take one for her, but we were only a mile down the road and if he gave her any trouble she called me. He did good for the most part and I only had to go back to the house only once, right at bed time which is also his fussy time, but I put him to sleep and Ann and I started our journey back to join the party.

We had a great group of people and we had an awesome time! It was nice to get out for a couple hours without the kids, but I missed my little man like crazy, that's the first time I have left him and it was tough at first, but I knew he was in good hands! This was also one of the last times that we were going to get to go out with Joe because of his new job which is in Iraq.

What a night to remember !!
