My Favorite Holiday


Yep – it is a close call, but the 4th of July tops Christmas for me.  Here are a few reasons why:
  • No gifts to buy
  • I get to wear short sleeves, shorts, sandals, and sunglasses
  • I get together with ALL of my husband’s family on his mother’s side for a big picnic and family  picture. 
  • We get together with our friends and have fun.
  • There are FIREWORKS!! 
  • I might even indulge in some ice cream or a funnel cake.
After I posted my previous blog, I decorated the house for the 4th.  I’ve got flags, stars, eagles, and lots of red, white and blue.  The blanket my mother made for my husband on his 30th birthday is proudly stretched out on the couch.  Yes, I am upset with the government right now, but deep inside, I am still very proud to be an American.  I love my country.

My mom made this for my husband and gave it to him on his 30th birthday.  It is beautiful and one of the items our entire family cherishes.   She made blankets for the kids when they were babies - also cherished items.  I don't have a blanket that is 'just mine' so I share this one.  (hint, hint to my momma)

God Bless the USA!!

How do you celebrate the 4th?
