The 4th

I need not write much for this post since the pictures tell the story!  On Saturday, I made our patriotic dessert and decorated the table with the classic red, white, and blue theme.  The toppers on the cupcakes were ones I found on sale for $0.25 last year after the holiday.  I felt pretty good about that buy, and they were fun to use!

Benjamin assumed we were going to use candles and blow them out since we were celebrating and having cupcakes.  When I told he and Essie "how old" the United States is, their eyes got big, and they both realized what a bonfire we would have on our hands if used over 200 candles!  No, we did not even try it. :)

It was still a fun celebration, though!
