Bonus Day on The Cape

Little Tree Set Up

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00333

I’ve been making sure to take the day after Thanksgiving off so that we can stay on the Cape longer. It makes for an easier transition back to work after the holiday and gives us a nice relaxing day on Cape cod to spend with my parents.

We had a nice big breakfast and a relaxing morning. The kids helped Mem and Grandfather put up the small Christmas Tree in the living room. Then I helped dad bring in the larger tree for the sun-porch. Then he and Andrew set it up and decorated it.

In the afternoon we took a ride into town to check out the shops and to get out of the house. We had to break up the day a bit and change up the scenery. We checked out some of the shops along main street in Falmouth. Eva likes a surf and skate shop there. Not exactly sure the draw for her but she enjoys it. We also looked at the book store and my parents got Andrew a Mad Libs book. he could not wait to do a Mad Libs with everyone. He loves how silly they are.

We had a nice dinner and then settled in to watch another Christmas movie. this time we watched Klaus on Netflix. It was a cute movie. I had heard it was good from Andrew an Allison. they had already seen it but liked it enough to watch again. It was a different sort of story but a good one.

Saint Patricks Day Snacks

We love Saint Patrick’s Day in our house. Each year we make a traditional boiled dinner, Irish Soda bread, try and catch leprechauns and enjoy tasty snacks. This year we are hosting a special giveaway in conjunction with Catholic Central. They sent us a bamboo cheese board with slide out drawer that includes stainless steel cutting and serving knives. You can see them in the video below.

Here is an example of what a typical plate looks like at our house on Saint Patrick’s Day.

Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner

When the leprechauns come to the house they wreak havoc all around the place and make tons of things green including pancakes.

Saint Patricks Breakfast

We’ve done special snacks as well and with green milk to accompany them.
