St. Patrick's Day Playtime

In my family St. Patrick’s day is a big deal.  Not only does it celebrate our Irish heritage, but it is also the same day as my Mother’s birthday.  Being such a big deal, it only makes sense that St. Pattie's photos are taken.  At least that's the excuse I gave my family, when I showed up at my sister’s with a green bowler hat and camera. 
 
Granted, when it comes to family (especially with a little one who is about 1 ½)…photo time is just another way to say play time.
Playtime with Mommy…

Overall, I think it was a day well spent.

Lesson 1: Green walls make for green reflections.  Not good for skin tones. 
Lesson 2: Hats make fun props for toddlers and adults.

Lesson 3: With enough playtime, you can get a smile or two.

  3. Such fun photos! We are big on St. Patty's Day too. My husband likes to joke with our girls about the 3 of them being Irish, but since I only married into an Irish family, I'm just along for the ride.
