St. Patrick's Day Celebration!

 One thing we like to do for any holiday, big or small is to wear holiday outfits. These shirts were brought back from Ireland by their Grandma and Grandpa. Perfect St. Pat's outfits!
 For each holiday I try to either do a craft or bake or cook something. This year we checked out this book from the library. It was full of great crafts. The majority of the items needed to complete the crafts were things we had around the house. This was a great exercise in following directions. My five-year-old had fun choosing the craft to make. I think we will get this book again next year.

I always try to have a special book basket to highlight each holiday. This was our favorite story from the book basket for St. Patrick's Day. It was a super cute story!

Lastly, we always like to look for a free event in the community to join in the celebration. This year the church I grew up going to was having a Celtic Music concert. The band that was playing is called 'The Irish Band.' They were so wonderful! The girls had the best time singing and dancing along!
