Slightly Irish

Okay, so basically we're mutts here, with me being English, Irish, Dutch and Italian, and Eric being almost completely Dutch with hints of Scottish and French.  Due to our muddled ancestral roots, we decided it wasn't necessary to do the traditional Irish fare of corned beef and cabbage, and instead decided on some "Irish" enchiladas (we probably could have dyed them green or something, but that would have meant putting more effort into dinner than either of us wanted to do.).  Fortunately, we were completely spoiled today by our neighbors instead.  The Sheehans made delicious Irish soda bread which made a great snack, and for dessert Carly made some FANTASTIC Bailey's brownies which were out of this world!!  I think they very well could be my favorite food ever! :)  Then, after dinner we posed as Leprechauns with a face cutout Danny made at school today.  I have to say, I'm quite impressed with how cute this way.  I think the boys make mighty fine looking Irishmen (er, at least Irish legends...).
