Lets Celebrate our Heritage!

Amy's family is Irish - she is a Mulvaney and a Sullivan and proud of it.  We LOVE celebrating St Patties Day and hope to pass that enjoyment onto our kids.  By the looks of Kasey... Looks like we Did!

This year, those crazy Leprechauns came to visit the kids at school... then came home to the Cannode house!  If you ask the kids, they will tell you that the Leprechauns dumped the toys out at school and caused all kinds of mischief.  They even turned the boy's milk green, right before their very eyes!  The biggest giggle we got though was from Kasey when he realized the Leprechauns used our bathroom and turned the water green in the toilet!  Those Crazy Leprechauns!

For the past Six years we have been celebrating the "Final St Patties Day Celebration in Karsten's place"  Each year was "final" as we assumed the place would be sold by the next year.  Well; this was that year.  Karsten sold his place last fall and moved to Phoenix (sniff, sniff).  As a result, we were looking for a new pad close to downtown and were excited to hear Kyle volunteer to host.  We couldn't believe how cute the hosts were.  They made little gift bags for the kids and a wonderful breakfast for all!  A tradition Karsten has lived by at his St Patties Day parties was to pull off the shorts and boots look.  Well; we couldn't let this tradition pass.  Kris carried on the torch proudly (and pulled it off quite well if you ask me).

Cheers, Karsten.  We miss ya!

Can you boys just try to be serious for One Minute!?!

That doesn't look like Kyle's dog...??

...Wait!... Geoff? Is that you?!?!

We were supposed to go to the parade, but... time slipped away from us and instead we headed straight from Kyle's to our next adventure.  Kris' company gave him tickets to the CO Avs vs MN Wild game!  Did I mention it was center ice and the 10th row!  Too Cool!

32 seconds into the game... first fight

Um... 3 min into the game.. Another one?

Well; the Avs did Not win, but we sure did enjoy the game with the wonderful seats!  And, if you ask Dad... the game was a win win either way.  Always fun to watch a MN team do well.  OK, I guess.... but I still won't cheer for them against my Killer Avs!
