Our Little Leprechaun

As Wikipedia defines "Leprechaun": "A leprechaun is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief."
Well there it is --- all the proof that we needed that points all fingers in the direction that Kristina is, indeed, part Irish.

Don't let our continual reference to our little girl as an "angel" fool you. She's got another side that makes me really feel on some days that Aliens from another planet have come down and switched her out with a clone. But then I remind myself, she is three years old -- testing her boundaries & testing our patience, the main occupation of a three year old. I'm sure one of these days when I have more time (???) I'll dedicate an entire blog entry to the devious dealings of Kristina DeAnn, but for now, I'll just share some pics from this years' St. Patty's Day.

Kristina's waiting on the front stoop for Papa to come home so we could go to Nana & Grampa's for some Corned Beef & Cabbage...& Irish Coffee. (Except for the shirt, Kristina dressed herself from head to toe, hat to UGG boots!)

Video of Kristina with mommy interpreting...

Nana really knows how to cook up a fantastic Irish meal ~ including cookies & cupcakes!

Don't let this innocent smile fool you....Kristina is hiding a box of chocolates under the red pillow and pretending that they're really not there...

Are you sure she isn't related to Colby??? Both have that devilish little grin. I think they are both little leprechauns. Or is it just being 3? He'll be 3 next month!

Oh, I recognise that devilish smile in the last photo. It shows up around here quite often. Kristina's too cute to ever be mad at though!
