St. Patrick's Day is a favorite holiday of ours, partially because we've got some Irish blood in us (3 out of the 4 of us anyways) and partially because it's FUN! Another reason it tickles our fancy is because we're Catholic, and St. Patrick (though not actually Irish), is quite the Irish Catholic hero!
Now, I'll be the first to admit that I've let our Irish traditions slide, but our little Blake happened to be born the day after St. Patrick's Day and his birthday has seemed to take priority ever since! Nonetheless, we haven't forgotten the holiday altogether! Mike and I decided to take some photos of the kids in our yard for a fun St. Patty's Day photo... and Lord knows, I wouldn't have gotten a single good shot without Daddy around! He's the life of our photoshoots... and his hands are known for some serious ticklin'!
As for the actual Irish holiday, we of course sported the green and indulged the kids with a festive breakfast of green eggs with green milk! Considering their familiarity with Dr. Seuss, they were beyond thrilled! :) Oh, and in the evening, Daddy led us in prayer as we thanked St. Patrick for driving the snakes (Pagans) out of Ireland, and ended with a hearty "Erin Go Bragh!" Until next year...
