St. Patrick's Day: Food and a Funny Face

Like any good Irish housewife did today, I made corn beef and cabbage for my family tonight.
Ryan and Elsa requested I make cabbage a St. Patrick's Day tradition. Actually, I think they begged me not to make it more than once a year. I liked it though. And they downed the potatoes and carrots and even the corned beef. Is it corn or corned?
The spread included zucchini bread made in the crock pot (I am so good!), green grapes, avocado slices, pickle slices, green Jell-O (for St. Patrick’s Day, and because it’s the official state food), pistachio pudding (not a hit with the locals, or, as it turns out, anyone in my household), and little green gummy candies. We also go balloons, because according to Elsa, there is no better way to celebrate any occasion than by getting balloons.




Skinny little Irish legs!

She was so excited to have a new green shirt to wear on a special day of FUN at school! She wore it with black tights and gold shoes, but those got shed shortly after she got home.

She lost her tooth (the hole on the bottom is new).
