St. Patty's Day and 1st day of Spring

My mom loved the holidays and always made a big deal out of them, so I try to do something as well (with a lot of help from my aunt Mindy who always send packages for the kids with fun shirts and other fun holiday stuff, thanks aunt Minnie :)).

The kids left a shoe outside their bedroom door and the leprechaun came that night and filled it with surprises. He also made us green pancake batter and turned all the milk green, crazy leprechaun! The Saturday before Colorado Springs has a St. Patty's day parade, it was a beautiful day and the kids love it!

March 20th is the first day of spring, we spent it playing in the snow! That's one way to start the spring I guess. It is also my moms birthday. We miss her very much and often wish she was here to celebrate her special day! But we are grateful to celebrate Nana Marsh's birthday! We love you (she is my mom's twin)

Cute idea to have a leprechaun leave goodies in their shoes!

Cute and fun! Telling you, Gabe needs to come to your house for holidays (I think I say that every holiday, don't I :))! Kids look so cute in their shirts! We also had snow on moms birthday..but not enough to play in.
