St Patricks day FIRSTS

I'm kinda lame when it comes to holidays. I don't always decorate or do "special" things. Tanner is usually asking TO DECORATE and he's at a fun stage now where he can appreciate it all... I've NEVER done anything for St Patricks day before and this year I took my Tan man to the parade and have already made some fun treats:

Saturday St Pattys parade.

his eyes are so sensitive, so he's wearing my glasses...little stud man the weather was perfect and it was so fun just to hang out with my little guy.

kam was at home napping while daddy was giving himself a haircut (yes, he does his own. sweetness) there was so much candy. at the last second I thought "we should bring a bag to put some of his candy in!" glad i remembered... because it was almost overflowing by the end. we had a BLAST!! we'll have to make that a tradition. this parade rocked. he got beads galore, more candy than on halloween, even a hotwheels car! i like my new "celebrating" the holiday better idea! POT 'O GOLD I saw this idea on-line and had to copy. it's so stinkin cute.

i cut the rainbow licorice in half and placed inside cell bags then threw in some werthers for the GOLD at the bottom. then i printed the saying off and with my Stampin Up punches I made some cute scallop tags. highlights and staples and VOILA the finished product is too cute.

we're going to give one to Tanner's teacher too. Happy celebrating St Patricks day!

Guess what? our package came in the mail while I was in the hospital with the new baby and it was PERFECT timing! Thank you so much! I was able to give the kids their pots of gold when they came up to the their new sister and it just made it that much more special for them. LOVE the bag! LOVE the rainbows and gold! LOVED the chocolate! (Ate it in the night while up feeding the baby. Every new mom needs some good chocolate at the hospital with her.)
SO, thank you so much! It was a fun swap. And perfect timing.
