I Refuse to Miss This!

The Fourth of July is perhaps my most favorite holiday. I love that we normally spend the day out doors. I love the food - because holidays are primarily about the food, right? And I adore fireworks!

Unfortunately everyone here has been struck by some mysterious illness and we all have our heads hanging over the toliet. Flu, again? Hmmm.

I am not going to let it stop me though! The party is still on. The barbecue is still happening, and dessert too - even if no one can eat it. I refuse to miss my favorite holiday.

The kids are decked out in their handmade Fourth of July outfits. I've got the craft supplies. I'm finishing the decorations. And if nothing else, there's always the fireworks, even if we're watching them from the bathroom. Happy Holiday my American friends!

P.S. Check out the links in the post above to see our party plans! I also made a Pinterest page of inspiration.
