Happy St. Patrick's day










We had a wonderful St. Patrick's day. My family started this tradition where we have a "Green Party" (no pun inteded since my sister's married name is Green). We play games like: Pin the shamrock on the leprachaun/rainbow, green jello slurping contest, we go through a pool of sawdust full of $60 worth of coins and chocolate coins (my fav.), and some other games. It changes each year. The one thing that is the most exciting is we play a final game where the winner gets to sign the Idolized Gold Bear. Andrey won this year as he was the quickest at popping all the bubble wrap (you had to pop them all without popping the 13 that were marked on it with green). It's a fun, silly tradition and the holiday is ended with our shoes (we leave a shoe there over night on the 16th) filled with chocolates and goodies. The girls love this holiday and it's always fun to be able to spend time with my fun family. We hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick's day full of luck. "Tie-tee-tie-tee-tie!" (as uncle Travis would say).
