Ever since I was little, the Kelley family has celebrated St Patrick's Day in a unique way. It's a tradition that I hope never dies. Toasting Grandpa Kelley (my dad's dad) with green 7up, jigging around the house to an old Ruby Murray record (jigging Kelley style... which means jumping up and down a lot and running circles around the house with a partner), and eating my mom's delicious shamrock sugar cookies. The past couple of years, Erich, Avery, and I have had our own little St Patrick's Day party up in Perrysburg because we were unable to make it to Marysville. This year though, the whole family was able to coordinate schedules and make it possible for all of us get together so the grandkids could all experience the fun with each other. We were very sad that Erich had to work and wasn't able to come, but we've already checked his schedule for next year and we've got it on the calendar so we know for certain he'll be able to be there! Here are a few pictures to give you a glimpse into the lives of the crazy Kelley family.
Our fearless leaders. We love you Grandma and Grandpa!

Our attempt at a cousin picture. Avery wasn't having it. This is the only shot I got where they were at least all in the frame.
Spencer and Avery. Cousin love!

Avery, we hope you always remember that because you have Kelley blood you are an Irish girl at heart... especially on St Patrick's day! I hope someday you look back on your childhood with treasured memories of this holiday, just like your momma does.
