This year we partied at home which was very different from our trip to Miami Beach last year, especially since Alexandra and Lewis are on a road trip and we are celebrating without her for the first time ever and Ronnie is still at her Godparent’s house though from her daily reports, she seems to be living the good life.
I woke up in the early morning going over my to do list for our party at 1 PM and decided to add some last minute Momma made Farmer girl skirts. They were super easy to put together. Mine is made from a vintage bed sheet which really cut down on sewing time since I was able to take advantage of the large seamed edge for the bottom of my skirt.
For Livie’s skirt I actually had bought some fabric to make a new 4th of July bunting since our old one has gone missing and never did make it so instead I used one of the fabrics to make her a little skirt just like mine. I may still make that bunting since I usually leave up all red, white and blue decorations throughout July.
The weather did not really cooperate, it never actually does on July 4th. I can’ really remember one 4th of July where it did not rain and this year it not only rained but it poured. The day was pretty gray or wet or both. We took cover in the barn/bar and everyone made the best of it. At least it was nice and cool out. We spent hours talking, laughing, eating and setting off an arsenal of fireworks the likes of which we have never seen. One of Poppa’s friends is to thank for that and I am sure that there were no fireworks left to buy at the store after the amount that his friends brought to our party.
We had blue cheese burgers, sausages, apple pie, lots of fruit and for the adults… jello shots. The final guests left around 1 in the morning and today we are taking it slow. How was your holiday?
Come back tomorrow for some super exciting blog news.
