Blarney, It's a Party!

Even the Not-So-Irish eyes were smiling when we had a little St. Paddy's Day party Tuesday night and invited the Robertson's over for the traditional fare of corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage. I made some yummy green punch and a green cake as well. Connie was thoughtful and brought the flowers and a spinach salad, so we had plenty of green, plus a big chocolate cake. Here's a picture of our dinner.

It was actually really good, and we decided to make it a tradition every year on March 17th. Connie and I had the low fat green "pop" cake with sugar free, fat free pistachio pudding for dessert...........

While Jeff and Lance had the mega calorie mile high chocolate cake and ice cream. As you can see, they didn't skimp on the size. We had to get out the big plates for them!

After they ate dessert, this is what they did:

I don't think they could move! They did enjoy watching the basketball game though. We all had a great time. I guess I should explain my "Kiss Me I'm Pirish" shirt. At school the kids decided that St. Patrick's Day was all a ploy from our rival school to get us to wear green (their school color). So they had shirts made up in our school colors that we all wear on St. Patrick's Day every year. Here's a picture of one of the many clever badges they gave out:

Just one of our many fun traditions!
