St. Patty's Day Celebration!


This year we had two St. Patrick Day celebrations. Personally I'm a believer in the more corned beef the better. Jason was a great sport and I think that a bit of my Irish is rubbing off on him. On Sunday we went to my Dad's house for a feast. This year he brined his corned beef for about 3 weeks, delicious! We also had pork and sausage to spice up the flavor. For veggies we had all the great basics
to a boiled dinner: potato, turnip, parsnip, cabbage, pearl onions, and carrots.
When St. Patty's Day rolled around on Tuesday Bella was all ready in her green gear. She looked so cute with her bandanna and her "Bark If You're Irish" bone. Since my mom is in town this week, we put together a great, traditional meal. Grant and his brother Brady came over to join in on the celebration. Dinner was delicious! The weather has been so nice here that we even were able to have it outside on the back porch.

Even though I wasn't able to enjoy a Guinness this year, I think the baby is already excited about having a wee bit o' Irish in him/her.

Bella is so cute. She didn't mind the bandanna?

No she was fine with it. Usually she hates when I put sweaters on her, but the bandanna didn't seem to bother her.
