Last year we didn't really do anything to celebrate, as a matter of fact, I don't even think Flo was with us. We had just finished our camping trip, and he had went back to Long Beach, and I went back to Menifee with Emma. I think I created my "American-Style 4th of July" playlist, blasted it while my Dad and I bbq'd, cooked and drank about 15 lime margaritas (each!) to ourselves.
This year will be different, though. Although I really love and adore my parents, Flo, Emma and I are going to go to a good friend of ours house so Emma has some kids to play with, and we have some friends to wind down and relax with. I don't think they were expecting us to text them this morning with the list of things we're going to bring, but nonetheless, I don't think they're complaining either.
Contribution this year:
- BTR Slaw (making dressing today, adding to the cabbage on Friday night)
- Mini Cornbread muffins (baking on Friday)
- Honey butter (making on Friday)
- Celebration Jello Shots, which I found here on pinterest (making today)
- and some dry rub for the meats that they have, that of course, we'll be barbequing :P (been made, dry rub lasts forever!)
I'm really excited for this year, it's really the first year Flo and I can contribute to whoevers house were celebrating at.
Emma's all set with her American flag dress that were going to puffy-paint some silver stars on, and I'm almost equipped with my "Time to get Star Spangled Hammered" shirt, which I saw online, but was unable to order it in time, so I too, am puffy painting it onto a shirt!
We're all patriotic this year, so much fun!
When I complete all the recipes, I'll be sure to make a completion post with pictures...or I may just edit this post if I feel lazy. :p
