ST. Patrick's Day

We had a lovely St. Patrick's Day.  All of us found some green to wear to church. There was nice talks and lessons as always.  We had green Jell-O, a pear, broccoli,and mint Oreo cheesecake as part of our dinner. 

The kids' Sunday School teacher really spoils them.  She had recently returned from visiting her daughter in Australia for 2 months and brought each of the kids that she teaches a little gift package.  It had a little stuffed animal, a pin, a kangaroo sac, and lots of other neat stuff.  She also had each of them write a letter to someone in the ward she was going to and then had the kids over there write back. What a cool idea.  Then on the Sunday she got back she brought an entire table full of treat native to Australia for them to all try and bags for them to fill to take some home.  Different flavored chips and chocolate bars.  Chickpeas and gummies.  So many things.  Yesterday as I walked by the Sunday School room I saw two tables full of all the green food you could think of.  Fruit, veggies, chocolates, gummies etc.  Again the kids got to snack and then had bags they could bring stuff home.  Leah got some limes and Blake brought the pear for us all to share.

Dave got the cows fed before it got to soft outside.  As the next few weeks warm up it is going to be a muddy, slippery mess for Dave and Jared as they feed, and we start calving in just a couple weeks.  But enjoying the warmer weather.  Anyways, I digress.  Blake and Leah worked on some homework after dinner and Leah practiced the piano.  We did our Come Follow Me then the kids were off to a fireside and Dave and I went out to do some ministering.

The kids said it was a great fireside.  It was a Face2Face with the Stake President.  Leah said Priests and Laurels were asked to sit right up front together.  Blake is starting to make some friends in the Stake.  He doesn't love staying after with Leah because he thinks she takes to long.  But as he makes friends it is getting more fun for him.  We keep telling him he is going to need that.  It was nice to hear their stories when they got home.  Family prayer and off to bed.  For most of us, Leah still had lot of physics to do.  But it was a nice warm day, spent together, not doing much and getting to see friends.

Found some lovely pictures that Leah took on my phone yesterday.
