July 4th Backyard Bash

We are loving our new tradition of having family come visit for the 4th of July.  And, because my sister is awesome and took pictures of this year's backyard bar-b-que (since I'm a loser and never remember to take pictures myself), you all can see how fun it turned out:

Just so happens that my kids' art eisel is red and blue, so I drew a welcome sign to greet my family when they arrived.

Cheapo plates and napkins and some garden clippings make for fun place settings.

Love having a chance to use my awesome cutting boards--this time as a center piece.

Nothing as fun as having cousins come play!

Something fun for everyone!
