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 4th,
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.
And of course, what's a party without food?! With a July 4th
party, I find that easy finger foods are great especially if you are going
inside/ outside a lot. 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 is easy take outside and
sit on the porch to watch the fireworks.

For older kids, I let them help or give me ideas on how they want to
decorate. My granddaughter Olivia tapping balloons to make the flag.
