I just had a wonderful holiday. I was really exicted for the 4th of July this year. I have been working a lot and even squeezing in some playing and I have not spent as much time with my family as I would like so I was really excited to spend the whole day with them! And it was just as wonderful as I imagined.
     I am trying out putting pictures on my blog and I figured I would start with the yummies. I am not a photographer by any means but you will get the idea.
         This is one of our 4th of July traditions. Bread and I made this. And it was perfect! It is the best batch we have made yet. I usually am not that big of a “sweet popcorn” fan, but I LOVE pink popcorn. Plus it’s so pretty!
Pink Popcorn!

 Next we decided to make lemonade. Before had I did a little preperation and made some fun ice cubes. I froze mint leaves and begonia petals in an ice cube tray. It was a fun little extra for our homemade lemonade.

Next is some pictures of the nephews.

I think I like pictures because they say it better than I can.

Then we had a barbeque!!! It was wonderful. And we spread out a blanket and ate in the shade in our yard. I had to jump on the tramploline with the boys in between bites.

We just relaxed and enjoyed eachothers company and then ended the day with fireworks. And no one was injured! A successful day!

Hee hee. “Cheeky” is one of those words I love but never think to use. Are those dipped pretzel sticks I see? Yum!

Yes, the dipped pretzels were wonderful! The boys did the sprinkles. They loved it!
“Cheeky Monkey” is a favorite of mine to use on toddlers. It seems to suit them quite often ;)
