St Patty's Day

I am SOOOO behind in blogging! We did celebrate st patricks day, we had Irish stew and rolls. We had dessert of fun green plates and did a craft, we even had gold chocolate coins.
I loved it which is to be expected as I love all holidays.
Eli's favorite part was the rainbow coloring page and the skittles that went with it
Kayden's favorite part was the gold coins, i don know if finding them or eating them was more fun for him.
Mitchell's favorite part was the yummy dinner (its tradition to have it on St patricks day be he requested it anyway-made me so happy-).

St Patrics day 2015

We had a good Ole St Patty's Day yesterday.
We watched a history channel special on it and talked about Ireland. My father in law served his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints there so we gave him a call.
Over dinner we talked about Ireland and Folklore  and family history (we have some Irish ancestors). The kids understood a little bit and seemed interested- which at their age is what I call a huge success!

We made a special (but very low key) meal.
Green smoothies, with green grapes on the side
Irish Stew (oh so good)
And for dessert skittles and rolo's

I had planned on trying to make gluten free macaroons but in the busyness of the day I bagged that idea- They are not the kind of dessert you just throw together they take some finesse- but keep your eyes open I might try them soon.
