Luck o' the Irish

As it is St. Patrick's Day and the beginning of March Madness, we had no choice but to celebrate! Brent was at work late so the girls and I made BYU mint brownies. The BYU part to cheer our Cougars, and the mint green part to celebrate our Celtic side. Liesel loved helping out; I really need to get her a little apron of her own. It goes without saying her favorite part was licking the beater.
Ireland was equally satisfied with the spatula. You really can't go wrong on a day like today when your name is Ireland! I keep kissing her in hopes of getting a wee bit of luck. All the festivities really wore her out. I love this picture because it shows her chubby legs. I can't get enough of them!
We hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day! Just in case you're still not in the spirit of things, here's my Top 10 songs to get you in the mood:

10. Tubthumping by Chumbawamba
9. All I Want Is You by U2
8. Tryouts from the Rudy Soundtrack
7. Flora's Secret by Enya
6. Danny Boy by John McDermott
5. A Life So Changed from the Titanic Soundtrack (snark all you want, there's lovely Irish undertones in the music)
4. Endless Journey from the Riverdance on Broadway Soundtrack
3. Galway Girl by Mundy & Sharon Shannon
2. Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog
1. Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore by The High Kings

Let me know if you have any St. Patrick's Day tunes you like and I can add them to my playlist!

I love the High Kings! That looks like such a super fun time with your girls. I might have a little apron for Liesel. Once we're done unpacking this weekend I'll know for sure if I didn't leave it with Mom.

You should put some pogues in that play list. They sound Irish to me and they rock.

The Pogues are awesome and sound very Irish. They rock and would get your Irish blood pumping.
