Happy Birthday America

4th of July is my FAVORITE holiday (next to christmas of course). Outdoors, swimming, the lake, BBQ-ing, homemade ice cream, family, fireworks...although this year we've had to miss out on the festivities and simply count our blessings that Daniel was released from the hospital yesterday, so our usual holiday activities have been put on hold this year. But that didn't stop us from having a little fun!

Stacia Woodworth is the BIGGEST sweetheart and brought over a 4th of July feast for all of us to share! Hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, corn on the cob, drinks....the works. It was so thoughtful of her to think of us and want to spend the holiday with us. We love having company over, but we especially love having Stacia over! 1) She brings food ha but 2) She's a lot of fun and I love being able to hang out with a familiar face in an unfamiliar area. Dan likes it cause he has someone new to tease besides me :)

I tried my hand at the traditional "Flag" cake. I meant to get a picture BEFORE a piece was taken, but what can I say...Tracy boys. Dan assumed the usual position on the couch and did his best to stay conscious. I'd like to give a shout out to the makers of Vicodin. Thank you for keeping my husband semi-comfortable this holiday :)

So even though it's been a laid back 4th for us we're grateful we weren't spending it in a hospital bed. Dan's home now and has a 2 week recovery before he's cleared to go back to work. So needless to say, we will be doing a whole lot of nothing for the next little bit lol. Quality time right?

Thanks again to Stacia who truly brightened our day and we hope everyone has a very happy 4th of July! God bless America :)
