Patriotic Decorating I love holidays and I love celebrating holidays and I enjoy having people over. I also like decorating for ALL the holidays. So to celebrate the 4 th , I wanted to frame some pictures of my granddaughter Olive; however getting a one year old to a cooperate in a formal photo session can be a challenge, so I hung up a flag I found and put some toys on a chair to help her stand and I got a photo. I like to use framed photos on the dining room table as centerpieces. Sometimes if I have time I decorate the outside of the frame.

I have hot dog wieners and fruit on a skewer and of course mini cupcakes. I put leftover blueberries from the fruit skewers in a bowl. I find finger foods or putting food on skewers
