Today we had our traditional O’Markel family St. Patrick’s Day celebration. There was green and a leprechaun trap and corned beef and cabbage. We tried a new dessert this year…Guinness brownies with Bailey’s cream filling and a whiskey-laced chocolate glaze…they were amazing! We also read some of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day books, including Patrick: Patron Saint of Ireland, The Night Before St. Patrick’s Day, and King Puck.

St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year, and I enjoyed myself immensely!
