They're my favorite colors.

Tomorrow is my hands down favorite holiday.

You can call me a lot of things, but being unpatriotic just isn't one of them.

I love our country. I cry whenever I hear the national anthem. I well up whenever I see our great service men and women- in a parade, at the airport, eating at IHOP...I pray for her just as I pray for my own children. Before anything else I am an American.

An American who loves the Fourth of July!

Tonight there are fireworks...and tomorrow night too!

There is the carnival. Oh, the carnival!

Today I will spend the day preparing for our party...

Surrounding myself in this....


Making dozens of these...


And hundreds of these...


A few of these (that have yet to be crowned with their strawberry and blueberry jewels)...


Cleaning this...


And then walking two blocks for dinner at the carnival (again)...


Then catching the glorious Webster Groves fireworks...Did I mention that I love the fireworks?!
