4th of July

This year with the 4th of July on a Sunday, we had church, then in the evening we went over to Brian's parents' house for our regular Sunday dinner with the rest of his siblings and their families. We had cheesy meatloaf, fruit, potato salad, rolls and I'm sure there was more but I am forgetting now. I made desserts and I couldn't make up my mind, so I made three different things. The best thing that I couldn't get enough of was Creamy Lemon Crumb Squares. SO YUM! They were really simple to make but oh so good. It almost tasted a little like lemon cheesecake, but there was no cream cheese in the recipe. It's making my mouth water just thinking about it!

After dinner, Rob did a fun game with the kids (and the willing adults). They had to find the piece of gum in a bowl of whipped cream and then blow a bubble. Eliza did it, but Libby didn't want to get her face dirty! Ellie and Hattie did it but they had to find four M&Ms in the whipped cream. I got roped into doing the one with gum. It was good for a laugh!







The kids played and played until it was time for fireworks. This year so strange in that all of our kids watched the fireworks without being scared! ...a first for sure! We waited a while before we left, but we still ran into traffic on the way home. It was a fun 4th.
