St. Patrick's Day Celebrations

This year Sarah talked us into signing her up for the Westchester Shamrock Kid's Run.  I think that she really enjoys running, and is pretty good.  Of course, if Sarah is going to sign-up, Michael and Emma have to run too.  So, we spent the morning at the race.  We ended up running into quite a few kids that we knew who were running in the Kid's Run too.

Our kiddos and their buddies.

Michael ended up coming in 4th overall.

Emma sprinted into the finish line.

Sarah was all smiles the entire run.

They had a "contest" to see which local elementary school could get the most participants.  Whichever school won would receive $500 to use toward playground equipment.  JB Watkins ended up winning.

Emma and Sarah got chosen to be in the picture to accept the check on behalf of JB Watkins.
This year St. Patrick's Day was on Sunday, so we invited a couple of families over after church to celebrate.  We went all out on the meal.


Rainbow fruit with a pot of gold.

Corned beef and cabbage, potatoes, green beans, shamrock shaped rolls, shamrock shaped pasta, and green beverage.

And a green lemon lime bunt cake (green inside and out!).

The big kid table.

The little kid table.
I love having parties at our house and having fun people to share holidays with.
