St. Patrick's Day 2012

High 70's and sunny on St Patrick's Day in Minnesota is pretty much unheard of, but wearing green, having some Irish whiskey, and spending time with family and friends is pretty much a given!

We celebrated Pops, Jeanne and Luke's birthday over Nonna and Pops' house. It was a fun time for everyone. The kids were all over the house and outside, while the guys enjoyed a glass of Jameson and a few Irish beers.

After the birthday celebration we went to Cecil's Deli in St Paul for a sandwich with the Eidens. Is there a better Irish tradition then having a sandwich at a Jewish deli? To be honest we had a terrible experience at Cecil's, which was a first. We waited over an hour for our food. Apparently St Patrick's Day is one of their busiest nights of the year. You would think they would maybe have more than two servers working, huh??? Once we finally got our food we were so ready to eat a tasty warm sandwich, but nope. Not good. Not warm! To top things off poor little Ollie got sick. Next year we will not be heading back.
