My Lucky Day!

I love St. Patrick's Day, though, I'm really not sure why. Maybe because green is my favorite color and seeing everyone decked out in it just makes me smile. It's also the one day of the year I can serve cabbage and no one complains (in fact my wee ones think it's cool that we are eating traditional Irish fare). Or maybe I just like the idea that everyone is lucky on this day!

Everyone in their green eating our traditional St. Patty's meal: corned beef, cabbage, and new potatoes. Yummy!

We painted AJ's fingernails light green with sparkly little shamrocks, and though you can't tell they turned out pretty cute!

That's a great idea to make an Irish meal to celebrate! Also, I really like the "Lucky" banner, very cute!

I don't know if I could stomach the corned beef. I really like the Lucky banner.

I like the banner too, did you make it? I love St. Patrick's Day, but I don't make the meal. Is it hard? You will have to show me sometime.

Thanks! I did make the banner and it was super cheap and simple. The meal is also really easy. Just throw it all in the crockpot in the morning and it's ready to go by dinner! I can definitely show you how to do both :)

Cute! I don't have a tradition for St. Patrick's Day--maybe I will start one!
