Our Leprachaun "Steve"

All growing up my family had two leprachauns named McTavish and Ike. They came every St. Patricks Day and brought us all sorts of treasures: gold rolos, Lucky Charms, Sprite, gum, gold coins etc etc. We loved going on the treasure hunt to find it and then sit and split everything up 6 ways! (You didn't end up with a ton...but that wasn't the point.) Well this year my parents wanted us to keep the tradition alive with our own kids...so they had the kids over for a treasure hunt to find their own leprachaun. They were SO excited when they finally found it..and then with the help of their dad they gave it the name "steve".( Which I'm filing a petition to change because no offense but it's just not the irish name I was picturing for rest of my children's childhood.) St. Patricks day was a success with their green waffles and milk, the treasure hunt to find their pot of gold, and with...Steve!

Happy Birthday Grandma Debbie!

We love having any reason to celebrate Grandma and all she does for us! We had a great meal and Krista and I put together a pretty fun dessert if I do say so...and I do say so:) She is very talented and I needed her helpseeing as mom is usually the one to come up with the creative desserts and it was her special day. The kids had a blast together like they usually do and I even caught that one shot of them all hugging which they totally did on their own...awwww! Happy Birthday Grandma! We LOVE you!!!!
