We hosted our first ever Annual St. Patrick's day party. Every year Patrick's day comes and goes and we think. We should have thrown a party. So this year we did it. Invited a group of friends from our neighborhood and had a blast. Dave came up with a gigantic list of games all having to do with the phrase ____ like an Irishman. Here is Dave and Jordan showing us how to Dance Like An Irishman.
Fight Like An Irishman. Behind the hair is me throwing a pretty good punch. The boys had to stand still and not fight back as us girls got to have 30 seconds of punching. It was very fun.
Kiss Like An Irishman. Body trying to kiss the Blarney Stone. The real one is a lot bigger and at the top of a castle. But it was the best recreation we could come up with for our family room.
Drink Like An Irishman. Kyle downing a glass of chocolate milk.
Shannon taking a good shot at Dave.
Eat Like An Irishman. We had an awesome pot luck of amazing food. Dave's mom came down and made a traditional Irish trifle for us. It was so good I ate it for days.
Me, Shannon, and Amanda all have birthdays the same week. It makes for some great celebrating.
The kids dressed in all their holiday gear. Never mind the fact that Ronan looks like a little girl in his headband.
The Leprechaun came to our house and made a huge mess. He left the kids a note say, "Better luck next time I was too tricky for you. Tell your dad hi from Shamus." Dave meet Shamus while living in Ireland so he likes to come visit on St. Paddy's Day. We had green pancakes for breakfast. Then the girls made a booth to invite all the neighbor kids to come meet a real leprechaun which was them.
