St Patrick's Shenanigans

It's been quite a while since we've participated in a neighborhood party.  Seems like there was always something on the schedule that conflicted.  Well, this time I was determined to make sure we were home! 
We donned our green, created our Irish names (Frank McJones and Leann O'Never-Here) and headed next door! 

Our Irish neighbor, Paul Sullivan, hosted the party and all who attended contributed in some way or another. 

We cooked about 20 pounds of corned beef and a 'colors of Ireland' salad (complete with shamrock shaped pasta), others made cabbage/potatoes, appetizers, and sweet treats.  Of course there were a few kegs of Irish beer.

It was great seeing Sut and Gary!  We used to tailgate together many years ago!

Victoria, Kathy and Paige learned the tried-and-try technique of jello shots without using implements.

A very fun dance party ensued during the wee hours of the morning.

It was a great time and we really enjoyed catching up with so many people and making new friends!
