Evidently my father in law snuck it from his school where he works. :)
Then I noticed the table! Sam's mom had these cute little cowboy boots from when Tom (Sam's brother) was little. She had the napkins in them and used them as a center piece. I thought it was SOOO cute!
I made Sam pose with me in front of the flag...which he absolutely loves when I do! :) I also wore my California shirt in honor of the 4th as well :) I can honestly say wearing a thermal, scarf, gloves, hat and jeans was a bit of a change but the California shirt made me smile.
We had hamburgers and hot dogs and chicken wings with baked beans, Doritos, and home made potato salad!! YUMMY!
Sam's family even looked on the Internet to see what the 4th of July was all about...secretly because they thought I would have a "family quiz" again like I did at Thanksgiving...hehehehe. Even Sam's brother Tom admitted to looking stuff up on the Internet yesterday!
I made Chocolate Chip Cookies last night...the chocolate chips here are more like little flakes and they don't quite look like American Cookies when you make them but they sure smell the same!!
I also made an apple pie at their house today. It was super easy to make and so sweet and gooey! I can't eat sugar right now so I just had a tiny taste, but man was that tiny taste good!! I forgot how much I loved homemade apple pie!
Sam's mom made homemade brownies too so we had lots of yummy food to enjoy!
I love getting to start new holiday traditions with Sam's family. They are so good to me and always make it a fun experience. Even though we had to stand by the fire a lot of the day it was still a fun family day! And I think my new family even over ate just a tad bit today...slowly they are understanding the true meaning of American holidays :)
I hope your 4th is great, full of warm weather, swimming, homemade ice cream and lots of fireworks!!!
