St. Patrick's Day

Silly me forgot to post this earlier in the week! Being Irish, my favorite holiday is St. Patrick's Day! And NO it is not because I can have a green beer, it is actually because of all the excitement the day brings! I love dressing in green and hearing about all the festivities that go on! Two of my best friends also have husbands who share this day as their birthday! How exciting is that!? I wish my birthday was St. Patrick's Day!!

When I was younger, my best friend Ashley, my younger sister, and I would collect an entire bucket of rocks and wrap them in gold foil. We thought we were so clever, and looking back we actually were!! :) We always made sure to wrap an entire bucket by the time St. Patrick's Day rolled around and when that day finally came, we would dress up in green from head to toe! We tried so hard to look like little leprechauns! When we were dressed and ready to go we would take the bucket of gold and knock on the door of every house in the neighborhood, leave a little piece of gold at the doorstep and run like mice to hide. We would watch them open the door and pick up their piece of gold. It was so fun!!! Looking back those are the days I remember most about being a kid, I am so lucky to have those memories.
Speaking of St. Patrick's Day, my adorable niece Jillian had her first St. Patty's experience this year and of course we had to dress her up and take her picture!! Here are a few of the little

My sister gave her a pedicure!!!
