St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day


I hope you all found a way to celebrate, even if it was in a small way. The kids and I all dressed in green, and we had chicken for our main dish. BUT that wasn't the fun part.....we had green Irish Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli, Green Chicken Gravy, and Green Grape Juice. MMM! I even had some GREEN napkins. This was a FUN day with making everything green. Oh, and I made root beer with sparkling water, and we had root beer floats for dessert.
