~We hope you have a Happy Fourth!~
We had a Very Happy 4th!
We celebrated on the First with our English class. :-)
Here's a few pics of my decor and our celebration for you to enjoy!~
~A patriotic white chocolate, raspberry, blueberry cake I made a few days before the 4th!~
~Abigail's FIRST 4th of July!~
~I thought Sarah did a great job making this chalkboard for me!~
~Luann brought the kids some blue magnetic sand, so I used it to decorate.~
~I had fun decorating. I just looked all around my house for anything I wanted to throw into the decor. :-) ~
~I took my little white frames and used them to spell America.
And wrote "Freedom" with Scrabble letters.~
~A fun antique wooden tennis racket case that Phillip found beside the road for me, and then we put a chalkboard inside it. :-) ~
~Phillip drew me a flag on my chalkboard.~
~I made the Reeses's covered in white chocolate, so I could make them red, white, and blue. :-) ~
~A made a 2 layer jello cake.~
~The inside of the jello cake.
I put coolwhip and blueberries in between the 2 layers. It was light and yummy!~
~Patriotic cupcakes.~
~I was happy to find these cute polka dotted cup cake papers!~
~I took the leftover red and blue jello from the cake and made some desserts in our glass cappuccino cups.~
~Someone gave me this fun red lace.
So, for a touch of decor in the kitchen...I tucked the red lace into a white distressed frame and put a blue and white glass sugar bowl in front of it! ~
~Normally you don't burn candles on Fourth of July (as part of the decor), but it's chilly here! :-) ~
~Chocolate Reeses's that I made. We LOVE this recipe! It is less sweet than normal Reeses's!~
~ I kept thing simple. Chips and dip, Doritos, Drinks (which Leo and Caro provided), a salad, hot dogs and trimmings, and lots of desserts. :-)
~Thanks to Luann bringing us LOTS of Blueberry jello...we had blueberry jello jigglers too, which the kids LOVED!~
~Sarah and a just-awake Baby Abigail~
~Elijah took this pic of us. For our English class we played a Fun game of Scrabble in English, of course!!~
~Sweet little Mary~
~Our simple place setting. Since we were going to play Scrabble I couldn't set the table all fancy beforehand. :-) ~
~Those cupcakes were ALMOST within Abigail's reach. :-) ~
~Bubu, Noah, and Elijah!~
~Mary, Sarah, and Valen.~
~The kids played with the blue magnetic sand that Luann gave us and made a "dessert!" :-) ~
~Noah and Jonathan!~
~Caro and I.~
~Peek-a-boo I see you! :-) ~
~And Thanks to Emily, I had fun red bows to put on my blue shoes. :-) ~
Yes, We had a Lovely time celebrating 4th of July with our friends here in Argentina!
GOD SAVE AMERICA!!!
