We decided to have a get together for St Patricks Day as we now have 3 little leprechauns in the family. My daughter Leah (7yrs), our nephews Finn (2yrs) & our newest little leprechaun, Jude (4mons), it was his first Paddy's Day!!
All our leprechauns with Uncle Paa'trick!!
We started off with drinks & dinner out in the garden. The starter was either Dublin Bay Mussels in a White Wine sauce or Irish Smoked Salmon with a Dill sauce & soda bread. Followed by My Mam's Recipe for our Irish Stew (which isn't very tradition, we make ours with Beef instead of Lamb & it's got a much thicker & richer sauce) with more Soda Bread & Kerrygold Butter, another must have on Paddy's Day. Dessert was made by my mam...an apple crumble & an apple tart. We even had Tayto Crisps, Kimberley biscuits & lashings of Club Orange.
Myself, Jennifer & Gemma gasbaging on the sofa about our upcoming trip to Ireland!!
This is the cutest little leprechaun ever!!

We had loads of fun in the garden, Leah put on a show singing a couple of her favourites. While Patrick had even more fun throwing himself on the floor playing with the kids!!
Leah & I had great fun decorating the house for our party...we spent lots of time searching through Pinterest for ideas when we happened upon this idea, which we absolutely had to do!! So at least I can also say I also took part in See It, Pin It, Do It or SIPIDI which my friend fiona-staringatthesea.blogspot.com/
