Happy St. Patrick's Day! Lately I have been really into all the Holiday's and really doing them up. I've gotten out the flag on the house, decorated the front door, put little decorations around the house with candy strewn everywhere (not good for the diet) and it's been a blast! Aren't my little Leprechaun's adorable?
So yesterday was Chase's 11th birthday. We had told him months ago when he started saying where he wanted his party that if he didn't have a birthday party that he could get something really nice for his birthday. I mean seriously, how much do parents spend on parties now a days...too much. Skylar's last party cost over $200 and then you still get them a present from mom and dad.
I wasn't raised with a party every year. I had one on the important milestone years and that was it. However, every year my parents would take each of us out to dinner on our birthday to where ever we wanted to go. Brad always choice sea food, Brian was always Italian if I remember correctly and until I was Chase's age I always picked McDonald's, don't ask. So Chase decided instead of a big party with all his friends he wanted a computer and dad got him one! I didn't even have a TV when I was his age. Man, what's he gonna want next year?

Love the St. Patty's day pic. I'm glad Chase had a great bday. I agree, kids are spoiled these days!
I always got a party, but it was always at my house. We would always have a blast and my parents didn't have to break the bank!
