St. Patty's Day Visit to Fresno

My Mom is 1/2 Irish. So St. Patty's day is a legit holiday for her, not just a reason to get drunk.  We went to Fresno this weekend to have a nice relaxing time and it turned out to be a really nice weekend.  We sat by the fire as it poured and hailed, watched a lot of movies, and enjoyed a fantastic St. Patrick's Day meal. 

Annie got to play with her blocks.

Grammy has bought Annie 4 awesome educational games.  She gets them at some special store for teachers in Fresno and I have to say Annie loves them.  Thanks Grammy!

Annie got to see hail for the second time in her life, though, the first time she was no more than 6 months old.  She had a grand old time walking out in her new rain gear and checking it all out.  Why is it that toddlers look so damn cute in rain gear?

Irish Beer

Irish Butter

Carrot Cake

Irish Soda Bread (not my fav in the land I have decided)

I told my dad I wanted leftovers for a sandwich and he ran out and bought a professional meat slicer.  I love you dad!  I should have told you I wanted diamond.

Chilled beer mug.

Beautiful meal we enjoyed together as a family.
