4th of July

We started celebrating the night before. We had a wonderful time at Pops in the Park at Levitt Shell. They passed out flags and Sally had so much fun!

That night I got the house all festive. 

I put up the reclaimed wooden flag that I painted.

I also decorated our breakfast area....flag banner from Hobby Lobby, a free printable from Pinterest, Sally's flag that she painted, red and white polka dot fabric and a mason jar full of flags...easy peasy!

Here is a close up of Sally's flag she painted for our craft this week.

I also hung the new wreath that I made.

On the 4th we had a great breakfast. I made homemade waffles with blueberries and strawberries and whipped cream. I also added some sprinkles for Sally.

 That afternoon we went to a pool party. I made dessert...Carmelitas and Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispy Treats. They were both really yummy!

I also made guacamole.

After the pool party we went to my Aunt's house to celebrate some more and watch fireworks.

Sally loved the fireworks and called them "sparkles". :)

Happy 4th!

We had a little photo shoot yesterday for the 4th and Sally had TWO outfits to wear. Enjoy!

I also made cupcakes in the shape of a flag for our family get together. The icing started to melt off during the hot drive over, but they still tasted fabulous!!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful 4th. Ours was pretty low key and baby girl is just getting over a cold.

NYE 2011

We had a VERY low-key NYE. Joe and I spent the day working on the nursery. Here's a little peek. We hung the art...I may have a few more things to put up and then we will be be all done!

We also took a long walk around the neighborhood. It was so nice in Memphis yesterday...upper 60's!

We celebrated the New Year by going to dinner with Lindsey and Nick. We went to our favorite Chinese place....Lee Kan's. It is so yummy!

After dinner we came back and Lindsey and I put on our PJ's and the boys shot off some fireworks.

We played some games and then everyone started getting tired. Lindsey and Nick went home around 11:30 and Joe and I called it a night too....right after wishing each other a happy new year :) Man...we are getting old! I remember wild nights spent on past NYE's.....oh well.

Happy New Year!!
