Happy 1/2 Birthday Nick (St. Patty's Day too!)

Nick's birthday is July 16th (Mark your calendars now!) But when he was little he never got to bring treats to school due to his summer birthday. Tragic! So, his very clever mom had him pick a day. Being a Sweeney he chose St. Patrick's Day. Every year we make cupcakes to celebrate.

HAPPY 1/2 BIRTHDAY and HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Bennet liked helping. On several occasions I caught her sneaking batter or frosting.

The best part- licking the spatula.

So intense!

Cute St. Patty's Day pajamas from G & G T! Thanks guys!


Grandma S came over to join in the fun. She never would miss it.


The finished product

Scout would rather chew the hat than wear it.
My quest for a perfect family photo continues.

For comparison- here is the blog post from last year.

I have found that the most perfect photos are such because of their imperfections! Wow - deep stuff there. :D
