Fourth of July
Another year, somehow, has flown by!
July is an exciting month!
Not only is it the 4thof July, my son was born July 1st,
my mother in-law celebrates her birthday on the 3rd,
and Joe and I married on the 24th.
This is a special month for me!
Oh, I forgot to tell you too, Holly’s birthday is on the 5th too.
(You will see Holly guest posting here from time to time).
See… a lot of great events this month.
The weekend was spent spoiling my son.
Turning 11 only happens once and I always try to make my kid’s birthdays special.
For special occasions I make homemade cinnamon rolls to start out the day.
They are bubbling hot here…
Then the day is ended with a homemade chocolate cake…
that is the request every year.
I am definitely not a baker, but I give it a good shot.
It tastes good, so that is what matters, right?
He had a great day. For that I am thankful.
Here is a chalkboard I made to display outside.
Perfect for messages,
especially birthday messages!
My mom was cleaning and found this calendar board, she was going to throw it out.
I immediately thought anything Coca Cola is cool…
perfect for a chalkboard.
Why do I love chalkboards so much?
Tonight I am going to make this yummy dessert
to celebrate the 4th!
I am sure you all have tried to make the cookie pizza right?
It is so good!
This is a feel good dessert…
It has fruit on it, so it must be good for us!
Ha!
Tomorrow is the 4th.
Early in the morning we go to a parade on our golf cart.
Yes, I live in a community with over 90 miles of
golf cart paths.
It is a little crazy, but it is so fun every year!
Happy Fourth of July everyone!
Let’s celebrate!
Enjoy!
