We often get together with my cousins around this time of year for a St. Pattys party. It's a pretty big deal to some of the littles. Camilla asked Jenny if we were having a green party this year back in January so we figured we'd better uphold tradition for at least one more year. It's crazy how big all of these little second cousins are now! It's fun to see how they all play and interact.
Jacey even played hookie to spend the afternoon with us and we loved seeing her sweet smiles.
We kicked off the party with some green food for lunch. There was some hesitation over eating the green mac and cheese until a few brave souls tried it and reassured everyone it tasted just like normal.
I couldn't resist a pic of the green gooey goodness.
Hyrum happily polished off two plate fulls.
Jenny put together some pretty great projects for the kids! We were all surprised at how little mess there was after our painting and cupcake decorating. A sure sign that the littles are getting older I guess...
It was fun to see their creations after.
Cupcake decorating was pretty epic. Joe and Neely went to town on theirs and we got some nice messy pictures!
We snapped a million group shots to try and get a good one and then decided to just take what we could get. There are a few busy little people in the crowd and it was a miracle if they all sat still for more than a few seconds.
Just before we left we finished off with the coin toss.
A lot of fun was had by all. I love getting together with my cousins to talk about mothering and share ideas and struggles. I always leave so uplifted and edified.
