The Fourth of July

The 4th of July was a nice, long weekend. We changed up our plans this year and kept close of home instead of having the family shin-dig on Camano. My fabulous friend, Sandra (friends since 1st grade) invited us over to her house. We had a great dinner froze our buns off. I mean we went inside, cranked up the fireplace and nearly passed out from the heat. Her house is great for fireworks. Not only can you see Tulalip, but there are fireworks all around.

Grant had a rough time going to sleep. He wanted to party (no surprise). Here are just a couple pics starting with the patriotic wreath I made for our front door (yes, I am just itching to get back to my crafty self). It is strips of fabric tied to a wreath form. It took like one, long dedicated afternoon, but I love how it turned out.
