Our St. Patrick's Day Celebration!

We started celebrating St. Patrick's Day last night with this dinner

 Mrs. O'Callaghan's Soda Bread

Yummy!

For breakfast, we had these!

Guinness Spiced Muffins and they were excellent! 

Everyday in our house, the Irish are celebrated in some form or other.  We both have Irish blood:  My family, the McBrides came to this country pre-Revolutionary war, so we don't know much about which part of Ireland from which they emigrated.  Hubby's family, the Conways & the Jennings are still mostly in Ireland - County Mayo, and his grandparents met in Chicago after arriving here in the 20th Century.  

We celebrate by welcoming our guests like this:

And no matter what the decor, I'm sure we will always have this displayed somewhere

And let's no forget how we try to "play" each day

And finally, we can't forget our dog "Paddy"

He brings lots of fun to our lives!

Happy St. Paddy's Day!
