St. Patty's Day & Book Club


Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Ian and I had our "book club" meeting with Ian's family on St. Patty's Day. Every few months we get together with the siblings and his parents to have a little party and answer questions about a book we all agreed to read.  This month it was "The Hunger Games" since the movie is coming out next week and we all have read most of the series already. These parties are always eventful. This time mom and Jade set up the room in a fire theme. The table and chairs were covered in black and there were little tea candles (the fake ones) wrapped in orange crinkled tissue paper that glowed and flickered like a little flame on the table. They also scattered the table with gems that glowed under the dim lights. We all sat around and enjoyed a well prepared meal and then went around the table answering trivia questions about the book. It was a lot of fun and I always look forward to seeing how each party is decorated. Ian's mom and sister are so clever and go all out! I really need to remember to take pictures next time...but at least I snapped one of my little boy in his special holiday outfit :) He came to the party too, but pretty much slept through the whole thing...ha ha. I love that kid!
