Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

When I was pregnant people would obviously ask me all of the time about my due date. Because we were expecting twins -- and assumed they would come early -- I would always say "sometime in mid-March . . . momma wants a beer on St. Patrick's Day, so hopefully by then". :-) St. Patrick's Day is one of our FAVORITE holidays (I guess because it involves one of our favorite things -- social drinking. We have issues, we know!). Two years ago, when Tim & I were living it up large in Chicago, we planned in advanced and persuaded a group of our friends to take the day off of work (it was a Friday) to go into the city to celebrate in style. We started in the morning and bar hopped all day. We boarded Tabasco at the Doggie Bed & Breakfast and stayed all night in the city (thanks to our good friends Kevin & Sandy!!) -- we had a blast and it was one of the best St. Patrick's Days ever!


What a difference two years makes! We now live back in Ohio and have two little babies -- who would have thought that!?!? Although our plans today do not involve multiple Irish Car Bombs or non-stop Guinness beer drinking, we are still celebrating in style with Bennett & Kendyll. Much like all of their Notre Dame gear, we have decked them out in head-to-toe St. Patrick's Day attire -- just in case you weren't aware that this is their first one! Big thanks to Nana & Papa for the outfits and to Aunt Cindy, Uncle Eddie, Rachel & the boys for the bibs (they are adorable!!). :-)

Maybe we'll spike their formula with green food coloring (and I WILL have at least have one beer today!) . . .
