Remember These?

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating the 4th.,

it started out at a friends party on the 3rd. I wish

I had pictures to share, they had enough food for

an army and a 'Yankee Doodle Parade' for anyone

that wanted to participate and what fun it was, lots

of adults got into the festivities as well as the kiddos!

We voted and got prizes as well as the parade

participants! Thanks Jeri & Paul for such a

wonderful

party!!!

We went to the beach for the 4th.

Our Aunt Mary & Uncle Tom

have the most wonderful home

where we all congregate each

4th. of July,

at one time, I counted 48 people!

There were kids out in the boat,

babies and Mama's in the house,

and

a couple dozen or so

cozied up to the tables

visiting

and

grazing

snacking

dining

okay, it was more of a

feeding frenzy!!!

I've been practicing my

cake decorating on the family again!

(remember the cupcakes?)

~*~

When I was a little girl,

my Grandma Stella made me

the most adorable doll cakes,

you know, 

where the cake was the dolls dress.

Well, I've decided to practice

so our Granddaugters will have

the same sweet cakes that I

enjoyed as a little girl!!!

Here's my first attempt.

Betsy Ross!

I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of her cut,

she was a jello cake with

blueberry

and

cherry

jello

for

the

RED

WHITE

&

BLUE!

I have a lot to learn, but I think I have

enough confidence to make

one in August, for one of our little Birthday girls!!!

I'm linking up with Kathleen's blog
