4th of July

This year the 4th was a little hectic for me to prepare for. School has kept me busy so I didn't get to do what I normally do. I kept my contribution to the day simple so there wasn't much prep work before the day. Allison was a big help in the kitchen. I put her in charge to the trifle. She felt the need to be exact in her preparations. It was funny when she pulled out her ruler to cut the angle food cake in 1 inch squares.

I am proud of all her help and her trifle looked beautiful and it was yummy.

I am very grateful for her help. I could not have got it all done without her.

We headed to the Ewings around five for our normal 4th of July celebration. The normal people were there the Moellers and the Pickers. The kids love seeing these families because we don't get to see a lot of them with all of our hectic schedules. We had a great time eating, playing and doing fireworks.

We had a great 4th with great friends. I couldn't ask for anything better.
