Saint Patrick's Day

I LOVE holidays! I love doing fun things and making these days special. My Mom made a big deal out of holidays growing up and it's been something that I remember and cherish. Saint Patrick's Day has always been a fun day for our family. My mom would get us a little treat/ prize and make a fun green dinner. She even sent us a package this year full of green gum and shamrock socks! I have made us a green dinner every year we have been married and didn't think it was going to happen this year. Phil's been really busy for work lately and I wasn't going to do it for just me. I found out at 3pm that he would make it home. I hurried and threw something together and we brought it over to Phil's parents to watch the BYU basketball game. I didn't make as big of green dinner as I would have liked but it was still fun. We had pesto chicken with spinach tortellini , zucchini, limeade, and green sherbet for dessert. The night before Phil and I made some yummy cake balls for his work. They are so fun to make and taste so good!

Had to make green ones of course.
