We celebrated St. Paddy's Day by gathering at Mom and Dad's for a Corned beef and Cabbage feast.
Tom and I both cooked 10 pounds of corned beef each, with an enormous amount of potatoes, carrots and cabbage. We quit boiling this dinner after last year when it was discovered that roasting it all together is much tastier and easier!
Mom also had lots of terrific meatballs which the kids were thrilled to see!
Door Prizes added to the fun! Each individual received a numbered ticket as we walked in. A drawing was held after dinner to disburse the "green-themed" prizes from the Dollar Store. Many useful items were awarded to everyone's delight.
In addition to sharing our Irish heritage together, we held a meeting to discuss the Nut Fest- a family reunion to take place in June, God Willing (as Grandma F. would say!!).
