those traditions sound like the kind that will keep your family together for the 4th of july always. way to go--
Thanks for the compliment! I'm more than happy to see that you put a link to my blog on here! I appreciate it.
Hope you had a happy fourth of July. Mine was great (though I was away from family--I miss AZ).
Those are great traditions! I love the 4th of July!
Suz,
Yes, thanks for posting the link to that Allie person's website. What cute layouts!! I always tease my blogging friends that I would never switch from my basic blogger layout, but when I saw how cute they were and how easy it was to do, I gave in to peer pressure! Thanks for the great link!!
suzie you just made me laugh out loud--"what the hell is bunting?" is the flag designed cloth fabric that you have hanging over the top of your door--if you were rich like aaron spelling, your whole entre house and yards and fences would have been absolutely draped and covered in it completely. but since he's a goner, that might not be the case anymore.....anyways, yours looks FAB!!!
sounds like the perfect way to celebrate!
Sounds fantastic. I hope you had a great holiday :)
