St. Patrick's Day

Our friends, the Pettit's, invited us over this morning for a festive St. Patty's breakfast of "St. Patty's Pancakes", "Leprechaun Logs", "Clouds in a Bottle", "Magic Clover Dust", "Lucky Leprechaun teeth", "Rainbows on a Stick" and "Pot o' Gold Eggs". It was quite the feast!!



After our amazing breakfast we went downtown for the annual St. Patty's Parade. This holiday is huge in Des Moines and I think the whole city showed up for it, decked out in their green gear from head to toe. We were a little under dressed for the occasion :) We still had a blast though!




The kids ended up with their pockets stuffed with candy and a plethora of beads around their necks :)

I have never really understood the point of St. Patrick's Day, but it sure is a fun holiday around here! Thanks to the Pettits and the Pfeiffers for all the fun today!!
