The 4th of July just so happens to be my older sister's birthday as well. Fireworks for every birthday and grilling outside? Sweet! Beats my December birthday by a mile (chance of blizzard, close to Christmas and everyone is busy with holiday plans). It makes sense because Michelle is definitely a firecracker! Happy Birthday, Michelle!I made this flag "cake" out of little lemon cupcakes. The frosting is a simple buttercream with vanilla bean added for a little extra flavor. The flag would have been better with more rows but we just don't need to be eating that much cake!
Below is a close-up.
The weather was a little iffy yesterday. Here is when it started really clouding up and looking a little ominous.....
...then it rained so we retreated indoors for a little Rockband and Trivial Pursuit. Below is a pic of a little blue peeking through the clouds....
...and then it cleared up in time for fireworks, just as Sven Sungard (weather gnome for Channel 11) said it would. Cool - time for some pyrotechnics..........
The guys lined up the fireworks and did their pyro thing.....
....and the rest of us mainly took pictures from a safe distance. Below are the only two decent pics I got of the "real" fireworks display put on by the town. My camera battery was low and it just didn't want to do its thing.
