Oh what fun we had. All my daughters were home for the Fourth, as well as my mother, grandsons and lots of other family.
This picture is one of my favorite possessions. I have it hanging in our kitchen for much of the year.
I have had it for YEARS. Once in a while I spot this print at an antique store. It has really gotten more pricey.
The print below was found on the last day of an estate sale reduced from $20 to $5.00! I love it.
Below the picture it reads Mount Vernon Ladies Association
Aunt Emily went with the boys and bought fireworks
Everyone pitched in in some form.
My sister in law Deb always brings a festive cake. This one was strawberry.
Jamie made the deviled eggs
My son in law brought fresh flowers he cut from their yard. Isn’t he sweet?
Brian also made us festive drinks using blue vodka.
The secret to the layers is pouring the liquids over a spoon.
My oldest daughter Angie provided entertainment!
I love this picture of three generations feeling the baby kick.
IT’S A GIRL!!! Have I told you?????????????? She and Brian are the parents of my three grandsons.
The table was set with red, white and blue of course!
Notice Jamie’s Bull dog puppy collapsing under the table.
She played so hard and is so much fun!
I LOVE these napkins I recently found at Penney’s for 75% off. They were less than a dollar a piece.
They mixed nicely with the dessert plates found at an estate sale.
It wouldn’t be Fourth of July at our house with home made ice cream!
We had a GREAT day filled with fun, food and family, making new memories.
Today I’m joining
Thanks for stopping by!

Is there anything better than family gatherings? You should definitely have that picture of the hands on the belly framed. I can see it in the nursery at first, and then becoming something that little girl will treasure for life.
ok, it must be the mom in all of us.... that we are all reacting to the "entertainment" photo!
What a sweet memory for all of you.
Your table, the flowers, the foods and their presentation....AND churning ice cream too!
A perfect slice of life.
Love it.

What a GREAT 4th of July celebration your family had, Donna! I love the layered drinks and the fabulous square white plates and the wonderful prints and the pretty REAL flowers (*wink*) and that GORGEOUS strawberry cake but especially the baby belly!!!
Oh & why have I never thought to use my Pampered Chef cookie press to fill deviled eggs???????? Duh???????? Next time for sure!
Thanks for your very kind comments on my celebration stuff. I just posted a patriotic quilt, in keeping with the theme. Then I think I'm done! LOL

That drink looks so cool with the layers, Donna! I'll have to remember that - use a spoon. The cake looked delicious - simple but yummy, I'm sure. I'm glad to hear you got to enjoy the holiday with your family.
Just wanted you to know that I think that I'm going to start including a few tips about shopping on eBay in my posts. Hopefully it will spark a dialogue, and readers will begin to ask their own questions, as well as contribute their own strategies. I think that it could be really interesting. Thanks for the inspiration. Cherry Kay
