St. Patrick's Day 2012

I really love St. Patrick's Day - I always have. I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with my affinity for corned beef. I love corned beef SO much, that when I was growing up, my mom would buy an extra corned beef brisket (since you can only get them in March usually) and freeze it until my birthday in July. Then she'd pull it out and make it for my birthday dinner. Not gonna lie, I bought an extra one this year for that very purpose. It's in my freezer right now. :)

Part of my St. Patrick's Day tradition, is to invite over some friends, cook, eat, and enjoy a random, silly holiday. So that's what we did this year. We invited over our best friends Clint, Tenille, Dave, and Liz (Jon and Krystal were out of town.) I cooked a yummy Irish dinner of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and peas, and Irish soda bread.

 Per usual, set a fun and pretty table. Maybe I have a problem...

 I bought a BEAUTIFUL green bouquet to enjoy.

This is my favorite St. Patrick's Day decoration. :)

A picture of Dave, Liz, me, and Scott. (I forgot to take a picture before Clint and Tenille left!) Notice, we're all wearing green in true St. Patrick's Day tradition. Didn't want to get pinched!

Next year, we'll have a little one to celebrate with. 

P.S. we find out what we're having on Thursday! Don't forget to vote at the bottom of our blog.
