St. Patrick's Day

For his Spring Break, my brother and his awesome family explored New England and came to see us!

It was so great to see them on bookend weekends, both of which turned out to be quite festive with St. Patrick's Day, March Madness, and Easter.

These two cousins took greater delight at each other's existence, admiring each other's hands, kicking moves, jumperoo-ing, and vocal abilities.

And John loved doting on "such cute little babies" (said low, slurred, and silly)

St. Patrick's morning, we did the green thing.

Green pancakes, green eggs, green juice.

For dinner, we went Irish.  Corned beef and cabbage (oh wait, I forgot about the cabbage until late that night...), mashed potatoes, root vegetables, bread, and (Martinelli's) brews in paper cups.

And it was so wonderful to have the Jensens join us!

My good luck charms, enjoying the party

After a rousing rendition of "who stole the cookie..." (John's latest favorite), we ate our shamrock sugar cookies.

And attempted family photos

Such a fun day!  Sure love this cute crew.
