St. Paddy's Day

What a fun St. Paddy's day! We had two families over (both with multiples and one with an older daughter) and it was a blast. I made brisket in a red wine broth and corned beef (both from Whole foods) and veggies and roasted fingerling potatoes and my friends brought fresh handmade spring rolls, irish soda bread and a delicious brownie and pudding trifle!  The kids (all 7!) were in really good moods and played outside, running around and blowing bubbles for almost 2 hours while the adults chatted and caught up. I made green beer (a pitcher of miller lite with liquid chlorophyll and 1-2 drops of green food coloring) and my friends brought Guiness. The kids were all decked out in green and we had the Celtic Pandora channel playing on the stereo.

So I got some really cute pictures of my friend Lydia and her family. They were really in the St. Paddy's spirit with their outfits and the most adorable pinterest-worthy trifle.  Check out the scrapbook page I just put together with Manda Lane Scraps Lucky Kit, a quick page by Ivory Keys Digital Dreams and a freebie designed by one of my fellow The Urban Fairy Flutters, Robin.

And here are some more pictures from the afternoon
