St. Patrick’s Day 2009….

"The Family" minus Marshall and Jeriah over at Mom and Dad's for corned beef and cabbage, our traditional St. Patrick's Day meal. Mmmm...salty... =)

For St. Patrick’s Day, my mom invited, Heather, Jeffery and me (plus our significant others) over for a traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage.  Ah, corned beef and cabbage.  So salty, so delicious.  Of course we all accepted the invitation.  =)

Since Marshall had a final that night and wasn’t going to be able to attend, I decided to bring my little puppy Sierra with me to keep me company.  I’d bring her everywhere if I could.  She had a great time visiting with everyone and got to spend some quality time with her Auntie Heffies.  Aw, look, they’re SO cute!

Muppy Sierra licks her lips while getting a hug from Auntie Heffies. So cute! =)

Dinner was delicious as always and to top things off we were treated to cupcakes with mocha frosting (my favorite) that Heather had made for St. Patrick’s Day.  I haven’t eaten that well since, well, since forever (that one’s for you Meems).  😉

After dinner, Meemers and I sat down, chatted for awhile and went through all the photos from my last hiking trips including Sunol/Del Valle, Samuel Taylor Park and Mt. Diablo.  =)

While going through the pictures, Meemers also made a joke about the shirt she was wearing since I had photographed her wearing it for a couple of holidays last year.  No worries Meems.  I agree, that shirt looks great on you and with the shamrock stickers (totally brilliant idea might I add) it’s a totally different shirt.  😉

Meemers, me, Little Girl and Sierra =)

Around 9:30 it was finally time for me to pack up and head home.  Meems had a long day and after cooking for the entire family, she was understandably ready for bed.  Both Sierra and I had a wonderful time and look forward to our next family gathering.  Thanks Mom and Dad for having us over.  =)
