Here were our party guests: (Don't they all look fab in their party hats!?)
The festive decor:
- A "Rainbow" Chandelier
- A pot of gold for the centerpiece (UNDER our rainbow chandelier)
- rainbow fruit kabob bouquet
- gold coins sprinkled on the tablecloth
- green table runner
- green cups
- shamrock paper Dixie plates
- party hats
The delicious menu:
Green Waffles! (With our NEW 4 square waffle maker! All the ones we got for our wedding died this year - they lasted 11 years.)
Our traditional "Green Eggs & Ham"
Jeremy's favorite - GREEN milk!
Rainbow fruit kabobs - note the authentic Irish leaded glass vase Jeremy's grandparents brought home for us from their trip to Ireland
And for dessert - a RAINBOW cupcake with Cool Whip (cloud) frosting (recipe and directions coming soon! Stay tuned.)
The entertainment:
The kids all commented at the end of the evening:
"This was the best St. Patrick's Day ever!"
"Yeah, it was waaaay better than last year!"

Jennifer- thanks for the ideas...
I'd seen the rainbow cake done on another blog, and after seeing your cupcakes yesterday morning, I was inspired.. I came home and made the cake with my girls. It turned out awesome, and tasty too.
Thanks too for the 'pot of gold' idea. It was a great (ie. free) way to decorate the table...

You are so creative! Such lucky kiddos! I have some fun ideas now for when my kids actually understand what St. Patty's day is!
Really cute! I can't wait for my kids to get a bit older! I think it will be so much fun to have fun dinners like yours.
