St. Patrick's Day

We LOVE to celebrate holidays in our house. We had our nieces (Adalyn and Abby on my side and Ruby on Ryan's side) come over for the best St. Patrick's Day party ever!



Here's Adalyn and Abby in front of our rainbow. We played pin the pot-o-gold on the rainbow. The girls were supposed to wear a blindfold and spin around before they pinned their pot-o-gold. But they didn't like the blindfold idea, so they just spun around and walked with eyes open to put their pot-o-gold on the rainbow. I'm pretty sure they had no idea what they were doing.





This is what saying "cheese" means to Adalyn



We had a treasure hunt, led by Ryan, where the girls had to perform a task, such as "put your hands on your head" before they could move on. This was Ruby's favorite game of the day.





Here they are looking for the next clue under the piano bench.


We also decorated cookies and played with green footprints that the leprechaun left behind, but I didn't get any pictures of that.


And here we are, in our festive attire. (Don't you worry...Lydia's skirt is green, even though it's hard to see it in these pictures)
