When your last name is Mulvenon you take your St. Patrick's day "stuff" seriously.
You buy the shamrock cookie embosser, you make the dough, you roll the dough, you press the dough, and of course you bake the cookies.
Then you make the special frosting, and color it, and apply it using frosting brushes. In an artistic manner, that is pleasing to the eye.
Then when you are not looking your wife (who is Irish in name only) takes over icing duties, liberally applying sprinkes so you can't even see the shamrocks.
So you go ahead and dive headfirst into the whole leprechaun spirit thing and make a "green and white".
And before you know it, things are out of control.
Which matters not one little bit, because I can tell you I have already sampled, and am happy to report they all eat the same. By that I mean good. Real good.
Happiest of St. Patrick's Days to you and yours!
Wow. What beautiful cookies. What a great team effort in celebrating the holiday. Yum yum. Yay for both of you!

My maiden name is Dolan, so I know what you mean about St. Patrick's Day...serious business indeed. My grandson, Ian Christopher, was born on this day, he just turned 2 By Gosh & By Golly. The ancestors came from County Mayo during the Potato Famine.
The cookies look great and agree that they all taste good no matter what kind of decoration is put on them.
