stars and stripes
know what? when we moved into our new place back in january, i was counting down the days till the 4th of July, thinking that it would be quite the celebration this year, living on the beach, smack dab in the middle of two awesome fireworks extravaganzas. well…the time has come, crazies!
Independence Day is upon us!!
last night at dinner, the hubs gave us all a quick history lesson on the Revolutionary War, and how we fought the English for our independence, hence all the celebration on July 4th.
this morning, i found Canaan like this:
he told me he was fighting in the Revolutionary War. he tried convincing his sister to be the English, but she refused, so he settled for telling her that she could be on his team.

once fighting ceased and a truce was called, we went to work on some festive red, white, and blue decorations:
and made some goodies for tomorrow’s picnics:
if you’ve been around here for a while, then you just might think those stars look kinda familiar. i just adapted this recipe and made them a bit more Americana! as for the stripes…simply pretzel rods, dipped in melted caramel, cooled off then dipped in white chocolate and decorated with sprinkles.
Happy 4th!
