Shamrock Cookies and Pots of Gold

Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Only a small fraction of our ancestry is Irish, but hey, any excuse to celebrate, right?


Last night we left out some sugar cookies for the leprechauns.


This morning the kids found a note that read: "Hendricksons, thanks for the shamrock cookies!  Seamus loved the ones with no sprinkles.  We left you some pots of gold to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  Sincerely, The Leprechauns.  P.S. Please ask Joy not to set any more leprechaun traps.  She almost caught Liam!"  Joy has been making "leprechaun traps" out of our big Lego blocks all this month.  Who knew they'd be so effective?


Here is one of the pots of gold, inspired by a picture I saw on Pinterest.


At Pink Grandma's house today, Joy decided the holiday was a great reason to dress up.


Anna doesn't need any excuse to play on the slide.
