Last night was so much fun! We celebrated in the big city in honor of my mom's milestone birthday. It was also the birthday celebration of my two nieces (my mom's granddaughters); one who turned 12 the first week of March, and one who will be 14 at the end of this month. The celebration started at an Irish Pub.
A live band played to rally up the crowd of dancers and eaters in the Pub Style Restaurant. We tried diligently to get the four kiddos out in the dance mix, but we had no takers. They happily sat at our table enjoying the crowd of happiness celebrating the Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
The food was delish - my girl and I split the Corn Beef and Cabbage. It was melt in your mouth good. And a pair of Bagpipers came to entertain the party goers while the band was on a break. I love bagpipes - such a unique sound.
We moved onward for gift giving at a Cafe around the corner where it was quiet enough to enjoy conversation. The kids were rallied up at this point.
Before we left the Pub, an employee/manager came by our table multiple times showering our kiddos with unique gifts of green necklace beads and Guinness Shirts. Ha! In the spirit of the evening and for fun, the girls went into the bathroom to change into their new free stuff. The rest of us didn't really think too much of it until we were walking from the Pub to the Cafe.
Two twenty-something-girls had passed our four walking slightly ahead of us and while the girls passed us I heard one shockingly say,
"Were they really wearing Guinnes shirts?!" and the other replied with disgust,
"Yes they were!".

Oops, perhaps poor taste, but the kids didn't mean anything from it other than they got
Free Shirts and that rarely happens! And it was just in fun. The kids had a good laugh the rest of the night and continued their spirit of fun.
I love hanging out with our families. I like how we always pick up where we left off, how the kids can make an event out of everything, and how all ten of us are never at a loss for words. It was so neat that my mom's milestone Birthday happened on a Saturday so that we all could enjoy the festivities of St. Patrick's Day together to celebrate the three March birthday girls!!

Those girls were just jealous of your kids with their tee shirts.
Your mom must be feeling a lot better for the night on the town.
