St. Patricks Day

For the first time in my life I officially celebrated Saint Patrick's Day.

I am part Irish (just ask my grandma). I'd never really seen the novelty in the holiday, I don't drink beer, so the thought of trying to choke down GREEN beer sounds even worse!

But this year my friend Jen said she was having a divorce party on St. Patty's day! Now that's a good enough reason to celebrate! So I met up with her happy crew downtown Ann Arbor. I was happy when she asked me to take pictures of the group of girls. To my surprise a large part of the group was from a facebook group for mothers of twins. How cool is that?? I didn't even know such a group existed.
 
I have tried to dress my daughters (who are 2 years apart) identically for years now, and they refuse. 
So, no twins for me.
I did get a change to visit with my favorite little leprechaun Saturday morning before the festivities got started. All he was missing was a little green hat, lol.

P.S. I'm well know for studying the origins of holiday and was asked several times during St. Patty's to explain. I have included links in this blog post from wiki for all you curiosity seekers.
