Happy St. Patrick's Day/Happy Birthday Mom!

Spring break in our neck of the woods always hits right around my mom's birthday, and this year was no different. However, this year we were celebrating 70 years of life. Now, my mom probably looks younger at 70 than she did when she was in her 40s. Mostly because she didn't color her hair back then and she went gray early but hey, she looks good for a 70 year old! (Might be one reason why people say I look young for my age still.) At any rate, we decided to celebrate my mom's birthday a wee bit early and on St. Patrick's Day nonetheless since she's where we all get our Irish from!

We know how she loves brunch (me too) so we got up early on Sunday, dressed in our finest green outfits and popped on over to the venue where we had booked a private room for a birthday brunch. The guest of honor arrived fashionably late (per usual), we enjoyed bloody marys and mimosas while catching up with the family. We took photos with the newest member of the family (little Leo), stuffed ourselves with eggs, bacon and french toast and then chatted about our upcoming spring break travel plans.

Here's a snapshot of our fun, St. Patrick's Day morning/birthday celebration.
